> Here at West Thames College we are enrolling increasing numbers of 'Fresh
> Start' students. These are young people who are experiencing problems at
> school, usually behavioural difficulties, and so are being brought to
> college for a second chance. Unsuprisingly they are reluctant library
> users.
>
> I would like to implement an on-going library induction programme for them
> so that they pick up some basic information skills. I know that Essex
> public libraries has set-up a murder-mystery role play aimed at young
> boys.Has anyone else tried anything similar. I would be very interested to
> hear about any schemes, successes and failures!
