Today’s spotlight Secondary Finalist for the PLAA 2025 is Alex from @BedfordSchool! Alex says, “Because of how much the school library has helped me throughout my time here, I have wanted to give the same experience to younger students.” @UKSLA @CILIPSLG
"It is the true measure of Alex – and everything that he has given to the library – that we already know he will leave behind a humongous set of boots to fill; we feel incredibly lucky to have had Alex as a pupil librarian." - Ms Chatley, Library and Information Manager
