Meet
Elizabeth
Welcome to Engaging and Empowering School Libraries! I’m Elizabeth Hutchinson. I have worked in school libraries for over 20 years, and in July 2026, I am retiring. I have loved working with school librarians over the years and am very proud to call myself a school librarian.
Please take a look around my website where you will find some free and paid-for services. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
What Trainees Say
Thank you so much for these excellent sessions, I feel reinvigorated and am really excited to learn more about FOSIL, and love the whole idea of focusing on reading for learning. What you say makes total sense on so many levels

Librarian and Academic Literacy Facilitator
Furness Academy
"[Today's training] was a fantastic use of my time and really informative. My role here is completely new, so to be able to offer to introduce this kind of learning/research skills is amazing. The support through the use of frameworks was great and being able to take a brief look at the kind of thing you can apply in lessons was invaluable”.
Wendy Walker
School Librarian
"I would recommend it to all School Librarians as a way of thinking about expanding our job role or advertising exactly what we are capable of as a profession. This training gives you the confidence and vocabulary to promote our services to teachers".
Sarah Firm
Senior Librarian
