Episode Synopsis

In this episode we decided to start the year by introducing you to the hosts of this podcast, telling you a little bit about ourselves and our journey within the school library world and why we think this podcast is important. It is probably something we should have done at the beginning but we were just so keen to get started that this seems to have been missed. 
We managed to cover quite a bit during our chat, including:
The wonderful job a school librarian could have with the right support.
The problems that school librarians face.
Controversial (what we think needs to happen).
What might be coming up next on our podcast.
