Well, I've moved my base and ignored blogging for too long. Now I work out of Heywood Library, the attic.
Just to say I'm back. Class visits this week brought out a top comment from an excited year one from Heybrook School.
"When I come to the library I look at every single book, but Not all of them!"
About Me
- Ray Stearn
- I've worked as a children's librarian since leaving Library School back in Eighteen-Hundred-And-Starving-To-Death. I thought it was about time I set out my professional development, before I retire! I've been working for Rochdale MBC for 21 years now and still haven't the key to the door. The best bits are "out on the road" around the borough, in libraries, parks, woodlands, schools, playgroups, nurseries, in fact anywhere other than my desk. I can watch the end result of the job I do here, sharing stories with children, throwing in a few with puppets and props, perhaps a drumming circle with my jealously guarded recycled drums. I've had them for more than ten years now. a relatively new addition is stories with PMLD children using the wonderful Bag Books.
