Name: Effie Daniels Job title: Early Start Librarian

Job title: Early Start Librarian

Employer: Early Start and Newham Library Service

Age: 31

Duties

I liaise with four library branches and their Early Start programmes. One of my main responsibilities is to ensure that the libraries are 'family-friendly'. I achieve this by providing support and training to staff. Much of my work involves helping staff set up improved story-telling sessions.

I am also responsible for ordering stock for the under-fives and being the link between the libraries and Early Start.

This includes co-ordinating Newham's BookStart scheme. As part of this national programme, children under the age of five are given free books.
