This DVD ,with Stephen Heppell providing an inspirational voiceover, shows the contribution an effective school library can make to the educational, creative, emotional and reading development of children and young people-and the aspects of design that can enable this. It also signposts case studies and practical guidance to support library design.
This is a must for all school librarians or anyone involved in school library design and development, especially a new build.
