Since the Guardian children's books site launched on World Book Day in March, we've had lots of enquiries from librarians, teachers and reading group leaders wanting to know if they could join the site as a group, rather than each child in the group having to sign up individually. We're delighted to say that you now can!
Group profiles will be identified with a special group badge and your profile will include the name of your group, where you are based and some details about the kinds of books you read and the sort of discussions you have. You might want to tell us how often you meet and what your favourite books, as a group, have been.
You will then be signed up as a group member for the newsletter and can send us your reviews, discussions and comments under your group name.
How do you join as a group?
The group administrator – you might be a school teacher or librarian or the adult who runs the independent reading group – needs to email [email protected] requesting group membership. Tell us:
The name of your group
Roughly how many members you have and the age range
Your contact details (name, email address, postal address for books)
This information will not be made public.
For your profile, which will be public, please tell us:
The name you would like your group to be known as (it can be the same as your real group name)
Your city/town/village, county and country
The age range your group covers
Your group's three favourite books or authors
Describe your group in 50 words
