Thanks to private donations, donations by the American Book Center and funding by Avans International School, the shelves at the open-access Little English School Libraries at the Montessori+ in Breda and Prinsenbeek are looking good. Lots of new books have been added recently.
The REALBOOK Project by Opal Dunn
A few years after starting The Little English Library (TLEL) project, I came across an article on a project called REALBOOK which Opal Dunn started in the end 90s. I was ever so impressed and it felt like this project was the predecessor of TLEL project. So you can imagine my surprise when I was introduced to Opal just a few days ago in Brighton at the IATEFL 2018 conference. What a great joy & honour to meet her in person. Tatia

Spring display
Today I received a lovely update from Miriam Oliveira and the reading club at the Montessori+Prinsenbeek. Children enjoyed their books and the library so much that they asked if they could help with the spring inspired display. Fabulous!

If you are attending the Nuffic English for All conference this Friday, make me sign. I will be giving two workshops (Round 2 & 3) so you can catch me before or after the sessions. See you then, Tatia .
