Board Member, Association of School Librarians
“For more than a decade, I have seen first-hand the invaluable contribution school librarians make to children and their wider school communities. The School Librarian of the Year Award has helped recognise and support their vital work across the UAE, providing opportunities for recognition, networking, and professional development. The Association of School Librarians builds on this legacy by creating a supportive professional community where librarians can be heard, share their expertise, and become agents of change – for themselves, their schools, and, most importantly, the students in their care.”
Board Member, Association of School Librarians
“It is a privilege to serve as a Board Member of the Association of School Librarians as it begins what I believe will be a meaningful and promising journey. The Association is well positioned to bring professionals together, encourage knowledge exchange, support continuous development, and create valuable opportunities for collaboration. I look forward to contributing to research, reports, and insights that can support informed practice and meaningful dialogue. I am confident that the Association will grow into a valuable professional platform with a positive and lasting impact.”
Librarian, GEMS International School, Dubai
“The Emirates Literature Foundation’s School Librarian of the Year Award has given librarians across the UAE a voice, celebrating our contribution and highlighting the role we play in building reading communities. This new school librarians’ association is an exciting next step, bringing professionals together to share knowledge, ideas, resources and experience. Librarians often work in isolation, so having a supportive team can be invaluable. It will connect experienced librarians with those new to the profession, fostering confidence, mentoring and fresh thinking. By supporting one another, we strengthen our profession, amplify our collective voice and create impact for the communities we serve.”
