What if students didn’t just work in the library, but actually owned it?

In this workshop, I’ll show you how we gave our student Library Monitors real power, and how they transformed our library into a vibrant hub of writing, publishing, and community outreach.

I’ll share three simple but powerful examples from my school:

Writing for a Real Audience: How our students got published in the SCMP, sparking a love for writing in all their peers.

Becoming Published Authors: How an after-school club led to a professionally printed book, with profits donated to a charity the students chose themselves.

Taking Stories to the Community: How our students go out into Hong Kong to read to children from low-income families, building bridges through stories.

Come and see how giving students the right kind of power can change everything. You’ll leave with practical ideas to start empowering the student leaders in your own school tomorrow.
