Cherith Durrant is the Prison Librarian and Resources Manager at Little Hey Prison, Perry in Cambridgeshire

‘I feel more confident about speaking to my library users about books and suggesting ones for them to read . Frontline took me out of my comfort zone at first - and them out of theirs -but it has mutally benefited us.

Our library has changed as a result of Frontline as we now have regular promotions and our readers contribute useful suggestions for displays . My staff and our Library Orderlies take pride in these displays and put a lot of effort into promoting our stock.

I would encourage Prison Librarians and their library authorities to do the course as even in such a restricted environment it broadens our skills and provides a refreshed outlook on our space, resources and customers. I just wish there was a non-web based version for our prisoner Library Orderlies to do!
