Pupil Library Assistant Awards

“Two weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend the finals of the Pupil Library Assistant Awards 2024, an annual award made to recognise great contributions of pupil librarians. Although I did not win the award, I still had an amazing time!

The event was held at Pearson Publishing on The Strand. After arriving, I was introduced to Jane Elson (an author who represented me in the awards). Each finalist stood up in front of everyone while their author read out the reason they made it to the finals (a very embarrassing experience!), before author Joseph Coelho (Children's Laureate) announced the winner and gave everyone their prizes. After the ceremony, all the authors gave each finalist signed copies of their books and I went home with about 30 books! It was an amazing day!” Joe S-L, Year 9
