Abstract:

Good afternoon colleagues and welcome to the United Kingdom. I am Karen Usher. I am the current Chair of CILIP’s special interest group - the Youth Libraries Group which is why I have been invited to speak to you today. I am also a School Librarian. I work in a comprehensive school with 1700 (12-18 yr. old) students in East Yorkshire. OFSTED, who inspect schools in England, say we are a
‘good’ school. We have very good exam results but the socio-economic background of our students suggests that our exam results are not a surprise.
