And definitely missing a trick by ignoring the demand for children’s books and services – the parents that come with them are an untapped and captive market. Many of my students over the years have borrowed books for their parents (cookery books are popular!) or siblings – and I’ve encouraged them to do so – parents viewing the school library in a positive way can only be good for the profession.
