In my latest podcast with Adam Barry he asked me this; if I had a magic wand what would I implement overnight for every school library? How would you answer this question? I would love to hear your thoughts #SchoolLibraries #Education youtu.be/325fK7y5Dd8

Norfolk and Suffolk teachers I am downsizing my enormous 30 year collection of children’s books. Would any schools be interested in hosting me for a pop up £2 a book sale? @jonnybid.bsky.social

"It was a very comprehensive introductory session on AI tailored for school librarians. There was a lot of great ideas being shared and the resources presented were many and varied". Katy Strong, School Librarian Now available as a recording... www.elizabethahutchinson.com/product-page...

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians

Delighted to work with Qatar National Library yesterday. Taking a non-techie look at AI… It’s time to be brave, be curious, and be cautious… Read, learn and talk more… Librarians have the skills that others need in this AI world… It really is time to start sharing your knowledge!

Planning my AI session on Monday... here is a little taster... and link to book... places are very limited now... www.elizabethahutchinson.com/service-page...

"The increasing conversations around "AI literacy" are starting to get on my nerves. There seems to be a lack of understanding that simply adding another word to "literacy". Whether it's media, information, digital, or AI, makes little difference unless we do something about it" #SchoolLibrares

#SchoolLibraries bring rich learning! Collaboration is key. Inquiry skills and the whole child: powerful in-school collaborations. www.elizabethahutchinson.com/post/inquiry...
