I can't recommend Stanmore School of Business's Professional Certificate in Youth Services Librarianship enough. As a librarian in a small UK library, the course provided me with invaluable, practical knowledge and skills to better serve my young patrons. The course materials were engaging, up-to-date, and relevant to my day-to-day work. I particularly appreciated the modules on programming for youth and collection development, which helped me refresh and expand our library's offerings. I'm thrilled to have completed this course and feel more confident than ever in my abilities as a youth services librarian. Thank you, Stanmore!
