COUNTRY LIBRARIANS
Are you a librarian in a small country library with a very limited budget? I worked in a country school and understand how difficult this can be.
I do at least one big trip across country each year. This enables me to offer more affordable rates to country libraries. I would love to hear from you. Please drop me a line via the form below.
‘Susea Spray’s story “A Big Blue Boat” takes children on a wonderful adventure. It’s clever use of rhythm, and words that roll off your tongue make it fun to read and listen to. I found that even for children who live a long way from the ocean, that aren’t really familiar with boats, were provided with beautiful imagery to trigger their interest and make them want to read more and to go sailing.
Having Susea Spray visit our regional library branch, to read the book, talk about her inspiration and do some sail boat craft with the children, was a great treat. Local families were delighted to welcome the author, and the children engaged well with her as she passionately read her book. Children from infants to primary school students were entertained by this reading, and delighted to ask her questions – she certainly spurred some interest in sailing.’
