We work closely with local School Library Services who arrange visits by authors into schools in the area that they serve. We have helped to run hundreds of children’s events for schools and for public audiences with authors such as

• Cressida Cowell
• Ali Sparkes
• Andy Briggs
• Angela McAllister
• Jacqueline Wilson
• Anthony Horowitz
• Michael Morpurgo
• Emily Gravett
• Charlie Higson
• Jeremy Strong

School Library Services offer a wide range of cost effective service to local schools which enable school librarians to make the most of their limited budgets. They give professional advice on books to stock, run training programmes and assist with promotional material.

Planning Author Events

 

For Portsmouth Schools, we recommend that teachers and librarians contact their SLS first, about potential events with authors.
