Young people have a myriad of ways that they are already accessing written material digitally. For libraries and schools there are lots of benefits and also some concerns, especially around the uploading of material written onto a school website, for example, by young people.<\/p>\n<p>This would seem to be a very valid point but maybe there are other ways that we can encourage young people to write and express their thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our work with children and literacy we are always interested in new ways of engaging with children and young people. Very keen to be part of the developing 'apps' movement. \u00a0Just the start of a new way of working and so much scope for broadening horizons.<\/p>\n<p>Sue Martin at <a title=\"Home page for children's books and news\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dolphinbooksellers.co.uk\">DolphinBooksellers<\/a> - always the best in children's books on line<\/p>\n<br>\r\nDolphinbooksellers.co.uk is part of <a\r\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.smithmartinpartnership.com\" target=\"_blank\">SmithMartin\r\nLLP<\/a><br>\r\n<br>\r\nA retail resource for the best children's books, entry point into our\r\nchildren's and community library procurement and supply service.
