After more than 20 years as a professional school librarian, Sarah launched her training and consultancy business, SP4IL, full-time in 2014. With a background in Biochemistry (BSc Hons) and Information Science (MSc), she is currently undertaking a PhD by prior publication at Napier University, Edinburgh, exploring the impact of curriculum changes on the role of school librarians.
She has authored numerous books for the school library sector – most recently The Networked Librarian and Playing Games in the School Library, both published by Facet.
Outside of her educational work, Sarah performs in ceilidhs and themed musical evenings, from medieval to music hall, with several bands – most notably the wonderfully named Dove’s Vagaries.
Although she doesn’t consider herself a natural reader, Sarah’s insatiable curiosity and love of playing with information shape her quirky and engaging approach to literature. Her book choices reflect that perfectly!
