This course will help you understand student motivations and preferences and relate these to the day-to-day reading offer in your library. There are lots of practical ideas to get students involved from how to start conversations to how to set up a simple and fun whole-school reading activity. Peer recommendation is a great tool and the course includes attractive print downloads to get students sharing their reading experiences and making suggestions to each other.
