MS WEBB WINS SCHOOL LIBRARIAN OF THE YEAR 2011 AWARD
3 October 2011
We are enormously proud to announce that our Librarian, Carol Webb, has just been awarded the title of the School Library Association's School Librarian of the Year 2011 .
Ms Webb has been instilling a love of reading in Forest Hill boys for seventeen years and works tirelessly on promoting reading through clubs, competitions, author visits and events, Poetry Jams.... the list goes on.
This work has been recognised by the School Library Association. Dawn Woods, Chair of the SLA School Librarian of the Year Selection Committee, said: "Carol was the first school librarian we visited on our quest this year and she certainly raised the bar at Olympic standard heights. The library is immediately visible from outside the school and beckons to all who pass. Within the school it is a bright focal point. Carol's information literacy approach would put some Higher Education establishments to shame. Then to top it all, we were very impressed with Carol's links to publishers. Admittedly the school has an advantage being so close to London publishing offices, but so are another few hundred schools. Carol saw the opportunities and seized them and this has resulted in an all boys' school of avid readers defying all stereotypes."
For a flavour of the work that goes on in our library visit their webpage here.
