Thank you very much for this great resource. I have been trying to find suitable activities for library time for a long time and it's finally here! These activities have really improved my class understanding of the library, how it is organised and the range of books they can explore. It has encouraged enthusiasm for books and saved me oodles of time preparing different activities. Best of all, the children love library time and the activities. Thank you very much
This is a really great Pack. A very badly needed one, with lots of wonderful activities - explaining the Dewey system, the video and guide and quiz, hunts and games and displays and activities around the library - brilliant!
