Booking is open for two training days taking place in October for Chatterbooks and the Six Book Challenge CHATTERBOOKS, Thursday 6th October 2011 An opportunity for all library staff to build skills which will be useful not only for Chatterbooks but also in all our work with children. In particular we will explore ways to place Chatterbooks at the heart of our work in encouraging and supporting reading and library use and enjoyment by children, parents, carers and schools. This popular, practical training course is led Tricia KIngs. The day will help you to plan or develop your Chatterbooks reading groups in order to attract more children, parents, carers, schools, and hard-to-reach groups to your libraries, to increase your libraries' relevance, impact and status, and to achieve a higher library profile within your community. SIX BOOK CHALLENGE, Friday 14th October The Reading Agency's annual Six Book Challenge is being used to engage thousands of adults in reading for pleasure in a range of settings including libraries, colleges, prisons and workplaces. It delivers on local priorities of social inclusion, partnership working, formal and informal adult learning and it supports literacy, ESOL and family learning tutors with student retention, progression and achievement for employability. This one-day course will equip practitioners to run the Six Book Challenge effectively, drawing on a growing range of transferable models from around the country. Everyone attending this course can claim a FREE resources pack worth £75. Both courses are taking place at Free Word Centre, London EC1R 3GA. Each course starts at 10.00am and finishes at 4.00pm and the cost is £195 per delegate and £175 for each subsequent delegate from the same authority/organisation.
