Luckily, even the worst-drawn panels include choice lines like, "You've got me all of a jelly!" and, "Bejabbers Sir! You're a real lad and make no mistake!" Tally ho, indeed. Rote narratives aside, the quality of the art and scripting varies widely from chapter to chapter, and although the artists are mentioned by name in Holland's introduction, there's no way of knowing who drew which pages. A brash, talented young hotshot ignores his superiors and suffers one harrowing comeuppance after another until, having learned his lesson, he humbly embraces the team ethic and ends up saving the day. Although these selections cover different campaigns, aircraft, and military branches, the stories-which sport titles like "Fighter, Fighter!" "Whirlwind in the Sky," and "Teeth of Battle"-will all seem familiar to anyone who's seen Top Gun. Originally published between 19, just as the sons and nephews of WWII veterans were hitting adolescence, Air Ace revisited the can-do spirit that kept Britain's pilots flying high despite the Axis onslaught. “The senior management there were unaware of any ‘covert message’ left through the arrangement of books,” she added.With 10 tales of aerial derring-do spread across some 650 pages, Holland's compilation of Air Ace Picture Library comics will be a diverting read for aeronautics and history buffs or any fan of war comics.
In a statement to the Huffington Post, Julia Patrick, CEO of the Apollo Partnership Trust that runs Castle Rock school as an academy, confirmed the librarian had resigned in February and said the library has not been used for five months. He praised the work of school librarians during the pandemic: “When schools had to ‘go remote’ during Covid-19, it has been the school librarians that have stepped up, supported teachers in making use of collaborative tools and helped develop online course materials to support remote teaching and learning.” “There is a wealth of evidence that shows that adequately funded, staffed school libraries deliver enhanced learning outcomes, better results and a better quality of life for those who have access to them,” Cilip chief executive Nick Poole said on Friday. Cilip, supported by authors and MPs, has long campaigned for all schools to have a library.

The report also noted that employment terms for library staff fall below national standards, with low pay and little investment in professional development and training.

Schools with a higher proportion of children on free school meals are more than twice as likely not to have access to a designated library space. While nine in 10 of English schools have access to a designated library space, this falls to 67% in Wales and 57% in Northern Ireland, according to a report last year by the librarian body Cilip. “For reading for pleasure and for literacy, they’re invaluable,” she said.
She remains adamant about the importance of school libraries. “I was getting absolutely no support, I was just in there on my own with up to 90 kids running riot. The librarian said that at the time of her departure in February, the school library “wasn’t really used as a library anymore” but being requisitioned as a classroom or a “dumping ground” instead. I left on the Friday and thought, ‘I’ve said my piece, job done, walk away.’ It was a little bit bizarre when it all came out. I laid it all out – The Subtle Knife, Betrayed, The Glass House. “In my last week I put them up so anybody who looked and took it in would see I’d had enough. Speaking to the Guardian on Friday, the librarian said she only realised what was going on when her son showed her a picture of Johnson’s address, and she saw all the books were still there. Thanks to his son, the chastened farmer may treat Jackson much better and show how much he values his work. The donkey immediately rises, and all three head to market, dividing the load equally. They obviously never actually noticed, and it went untouched for six months.” Just before he strikes Jackson, at his wife’s request, his son intervenes by whispering in Jackson’s ear.
I decided to leave them a big message during my last week. “It just became untenable to carry on working there because of the lack of support I had, and I was left with no choice but to resign. “I actually feel a little bit sorry for the prime minister because it wasn’t ever intended for him – I did it as a message for the school management before I left in February,” she told the Huffington Post. Behind him, the books on display which also including Betrayed, Resistance, Exodus and Fahrenheit 451 – appeared to be sending a subtle message about the prime minister and his government.īut the librarian in question, who has asked not to be named, said that she set up the display six months ago in a pointed message to the management of Castle Rock school. The former librarian at Castle Rock school in Coalville, Leicestershire, rose to viral fame earlier this week when Johnson addressed children preparing to return to classrooms from the school’s library.
