Taking part today Educating for Empathy conference with @EmpathyLabUK, a very interesting morning, finding out more on how books can help develop empathy skills and some of the research behind it.
Looking forward to the workshop next.
Thanks to @SLIC1991 for making it possible.

Apparently there is a tournament coming up soon. Anyway, here is a fine display of football books, courtesy of my library helpers.
Did you know the worlds first established foot-ball club was here @Royal_High_Sch in 1824?
