Welcome to SLA Kent, a regional branch of the School Library Association, where you can find out about who we are and what we do. 

Please note that your school does not need to be a member of the SLA for you to attend our meetings (although preferential rates apply if there is a charge for an event). 

Do contact us to join in with our events, or help us organise what you, as a local member would like to see.

Chair: Lisa Daisy

Upcoming events

 

The Kent network are keen to organise some future events, including a visit to The British Library.

Please fill out the attached form to help plan who is interested. Once the date is announced, members of the network would need to book their own ticket to the The British Library and would include meeting up for a coffee and one or two bookshop visits.

Exciting news! 

Lisa, our Branch Chair, has managed to get the following books added to the Kent Public Libraries catalogue (with hopefully more to follow!) Click the links to find out more:

 

Ideas for meet-ups!

If you have any ideas for some meet-ups, either hosted at your school or out and about doing something book related, please to let us know! We are aiming to be more connected as a branch, so that we don't feel so alone in the role (as librarians are often lone workers!). Do reply to this email if you have ideas. 

 

Monthly Newsletter

Please do send us anything that you would like to be announced to the group - either local events to do with books/reading that you are aware of. Coming very soon, there will be a lovely monthly newsletter with news from around our Kent members, reading suggestions, news round-up about reading that you might've missed, and local events. Keep an eye out in your inbox!
