Things in the library 5th March...

Things for children... 

If you are looking for new books for your children then you might be interested in the recently announced longlists for the 2021 CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals. The Medals celebrate outstanding achievement in children’s writing and illustration respectively and are unique in being judged by children’s librarians, with the Shadowers’ Choice Award voted for by children and young people. 40 titles have been longlisted for the 2021 Medals (20 on each longlist) selected from a total of 152 nominations, read by an expert volunteer team of 15 children’s and youth librarians from across the UK.

More things about books... 

Yesterday was World Book Day and this link was suggested to us by a member of staff as there are many activities people might be interested in for their children. 

We have been fortunate to obtain some books to give away for World Book Night in April-  we will announce how they will be available as soon as we can.

Things about long Covid... 

Long COVID is defined as “signs and symptoms that develop during or following an infection consistent with COVID-19 that continue for more than 12 weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis.”
The Long Covid: Post Covid syndrome section of  the Health Education England, Knowledge and Library Services website signposts information from physiotherapists, occupational therapists, post-Covid fatigue booklets and exercise plans as well as ways to support emotional wellbeing.

Things about paediatrics... 
In February The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) published a report setting out their vision for the future of paediatrics in the UK focusing on four areas - data, innovation, models of care and working lives. The report is the result of discussions with paediatricians, other health colleagues and nearly 900 children and young people across all four nations. The report forecasts increases in mental health, substance use and the consequences of prematurity for adolescents and young adults over the next 20 years. Children and young people were asked what their top priorities and ideas for paediatrics in the next 20 years would be. Suggestions include supporting people with their mental health, improving and learning from mental health support during the Covid-19 pandemic and  working with children to find new ways to explain things, using child friendly language and helping children to learn about topics like LGBTQ+, eating disorders, drugs and alcohol.

Things about going back to school... 

NSPCC Learning has updated its content to help support children and young people in the UK who are transitioning back to school. Topics covered include: safeguarding and child protection policies and procedures; recognising and responding to concerns; the impact of coronavirus on children’s mental health; and supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing.


Things to eat... 
This is on my list of recipes to try soon as I love Middle East flavours (and I have a bag of pomegranate seeds in the freezer bought as an experiment to see what they are like!). This Harissa cauliflower pilaf is vegan/vegetarian and cooks in the oven.
