The “We” feeling: Cross-border, cross-language, cross-culture co-operation amongst school librarians who work in Europe

Abstract

The objective of this paper to help promote a feeling of cross-border, cross-language, cross-culture co-operation amongst school librarians on a European level - a “We” feeling – a feeling of “togetherness”. Research shows that school librarians throughout Europe are actively promoting the important work which they are doing, on a national level. By working together on a European level, they can more effectively promote school librarianship in the European Union. The paper also attempts to make colleagues throughout the world more aware of some very specific, European school library problems.
