Children in Year 6 who are interested in this role must fill in an application form stating who they are, describe their interests and explain the reasons why they would like the job and what qualities they believe they could bring to the role. Those children chosen are then presented with Librarian badges so they can be easily identified around the school, which they wear proudly! Our Librarians value their role and carry out their duties responsibly, as follows….
