Chatterbooks for schools
A one day course for teaching and non-teaching staff wishing to set up Chatterbooks in their school. It covers how to set up and run a group, and how to make the most of the Chatterbooks experience and offer to develop children as enthusiastic and successful readers.

RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AD
Friday 24th September
Newcastle Library, Charles Avison Building, 33 New Bridge Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8AX
Chatterbooks training for public library staff
A one day training day provides an essential introduction for library staff new to Chatterbooks. It is also highly recommended for library staff who want to refresh or top up on previous training in this field. And if you're planning to start a Chatterbooks reading group in your authority, then this is also the training for you (or your staff).
You will come away with practical ideas of how to set up, run and develop a successful and lively Chatterbooks programme for your library service - and information on how you can evaluate your Chatterbooks groups' achievements.
