Support and advice

 

If you would like to start training pupil library assistants in your library, the first thing we would advise is that you join CILIP SLG and the School Library Association. Both of these organisations are invaluable sources of support and advisory material for use in your library.

 

If you are a member of the School Library Association you will have access to a toolkit for training pupil library assistants and their advice line.

 

CILIP SLG provide training and support for people who wish to train pupil library assistants.

 

We would also recommend these publications from Facet Publishing - CILIP members can purchase these at a discount.
