National Shelf Service

The National Shelf Service is a YouTube channel featuring book recommendations from professional librarians launched by CILIP and the Youth Libraries Group in April 2020 during the Covid-19 lockdown. The videos focus on helping children and families discover new, diverse reading experiences. NSS is supported by Nielsen Book, OverDrive, RB Digtial, Bolinda and Libraries Connected.

The selected titles are available to borrow as e-books from most local libraries via their websites. For information on how to access the ebook recommendations via your local library please visit www.cilip.org.uk/NationalShelfServiceFAQs.

With thanks to Fiona Lumbers and Andersen Press for the beautiful illustrations featured on our National Shelf Service broadcasts from Luna Loves Library Day, written by Joseph Coelho and illustrated by Fiona Lumbers.
