@PrimaryEnglish @ianaddison Thanks for this - we’ve added some new books to our existing banded library system and wondering where we should put them. Any tips gratefully received! Thanks

[Paul Allen @pwallen1985]

Are there any online resources out there that will tell you the book band colour of well known books?!

[Paul Allen @pwallen1985]

@focuseducation1 No probs at all - sorry to be a pain! Thanks for providing a free update in light of the changes to the framework 👍🏻

[Paul Allen @pwallen1985]

@focuseducation1 Sorry the one I’ve got says revised Feb 2025…

[Paul Allen @pwallen1985]

@focuseducation1 I’ve got it - thanks so much. Great service - thank you! 🙌🏻

[Paul Allen @pwallen1985]

@focuseducation1 Thank you - I’ve checked junk but it’s not there.
