Book Weeks bring literature alive
Rosemary’s vivid passion for Children’s Literature is contagious, and she thrives on inspiring children’s love of great books. So much so, that she calls her business ‘Getting Kids into Books’! A Book Week can be just the vehicle to awaken this wonderful life-long addiction in your children.

• her experience as both a school librarian and a reference librarian for National Library’s Services to Schools
• her rich experience of organising, operating and consulting on many Book Weeks, and
