When Lynn, the co-owner of the American Book Center and I spoke about what we wanted to achieve together it was quite clear – we joined forces to get more English books to children in the Netherlands. We wanted to focus on supporting PABO (Primary School) teacher training academies and school libraries. Now, only a few weeks after working together, the first steps have been made. Hundreds of new books donated by ABC have already been handed over to the Learning Centre Xplora at AVANS. The books are now going to be added to their system and put on the shelves for the AVANS PABO trainee teachers to use during their studies and placements. The library team hopes to have everything ready by this year´s Kinderboekenweek. We will have more details soon but the Head of English Teaching for PABO already sent a photo – delighted with her weekend reading list! Thanks
