Softlink Sponsors SLA School Librarian of the Year Awards 2016

The UK School Library Association’s School Librarian of the Year Award for 2016 was presented to Amy McKay, Corby Business College, at a special ceremony on October 3rd.

The School Librarian of the Year Award recognises the excellent work that is carried out in school libraries in the United Kingdom every day, and highlights the best current practice of those whose work is outstanding.

Through our involvement with school libraries, Softlink sees the hard work and passion of school librarians every day, and as such we are very proud to be major sponsors of the award.

Well done to Amy, and all the finalists, for the amazing job you do in providing high quality library services in our schools!
