"This year's Roadshow was even more enjoyable than last year's. I learned so much..."
Our Roadshows are all about Accessit librarians - so it's lovely to hear feedback from those who have attended so far. We can't wait for our dates in London next week. There's still time to book either day!
The first week of our 2026 Roadshow tour is over, and what few days it's been! Reading ideas aplenty, on-the-spot support and whole load of networking with like-minded librarians. We can't wait for our capital visit next week - there's still time to sign up so we can see you there!
Librarians spend so much of their time making reading fun, it seems fitting to kick off each of our Roadshow days with a literacy-related Kahoot quiz. Fastest fingers on the buzzers in Leeds - a perfect introduction to morning sessions. #quiz #booklovers #fastesttakesthewin
One of the best things about our Roadshows is hearing the creative ways librarians use Accessit in their schools and colleges. Today's attendees in Birmingham continued that tradition, offering all kinds of inspiration in our reading workshop - including Valentine loans and Poetry Slam contests!
Good morning Birmingham! Can't wait to welcome today's attendees to the fabulous Birmingham Library. Hoping librarians in the area will take away as many ideas as our North West librarians yesterday! #librarians #lifelonglearning #CPD
A lovely morning's group chat about library maps 🗺️, library lessons and how to encourage return of overdues. This afternoon, we're looking at ways to increase reading for pleasure for students in the Manchester area! #readingforpleasure #NationalYearOfReading
