Oh I do like to be

beside the seaside...

The most wonderful time of the year

Well Christmas came and went - it seems such a long time ago now! I hope your festive season was filled with goodwill and warm spirit.

I was proud to welcome a very special visitor to my library just before Christmas as Santa set up his workshop right here in the library discovery room! Here are the pictures to prove it!!

Reggio Emilia

I travelled to Italy just before Christmas to the delighful region of Reggio Emilia. Reggio is renowned for the child centred "Reggio Emilia approach", which puts the natural development of children at the heart of the community and is an educational approach adopted widely worldwide.

I was there to tour some libraries and meet up with early years leaders and also to spread the word about Swansea Libraries and Bookstart with my good friend and travelling companion, Audrey.
