To celebrate Libraries Week, we鈥檙e spotlighting OUP colleagues who help support and champion libraries through their work. Taking inspiration from this year鈥檚 theme, Libraries Change Lives through literacy and reading, we want to recognize the many libraries we work with around the world, and the role they play in connecting people with stories, knowledge, and community – particularly pertinent during the National Year of Reading. Here are some of the roles across our organisation that support Libraries.

Michael Spurling

Library Asset Management Specialist

鈥淚’m one of the specialists who run the library in OUP’s Oxford office, looking after the Education section.

鈥�While we are a digital-first business, it’s clear that printed books still have a special place. When children visit the library with their parents, their excitement is unmistakable. We’ve welcomed pupils from small village primary schools touring both the museum and library, sometimes their very first school trip. Their enthusiasm is infectious. They begin by eagerly exploring every section, pulling books from the shelves, until, gradually, a calm silence sets in. Inevitably, they gravitate towards the children’s section, settling down with picture books.

鈥淟ibraries are vital spaces that connect people with knowledge, inspiration, and each other, and being part of the OUP library means preserving access to our trusted content and helping colleagues make the most of it every day.鈥�

Kathi Fountain

Head of Business Development, Institutional Sales, Americas

鈥淚 joined OUP’s Academics Sales team in 2017 after nearly 20 years working as a librarian. Libraries and publishers really are aligned in their objectives to share knowledge and enable the creation of new knowledge鈥攚e are simply approaching these from different perspectives. For my part, I have relished the opportunity to better understand the inner workings of publishing. It has enabled me to serve as a translator between librarians and the Press.

鈥淎s part of this work, I have coordinated librarian feedback, and presented alongside librarians, including at a Choice webinar, all to further our mission.鈥�

Anna Shannon

Marketing Manager, Oxford Children’s

鈥淭hrough our wonderful Children’s books, we love working with libraries, and indeed librarians, in lots of ways: from organizing interactive author and illustrator events (often with an outreach focus), to partnering with key organizations like the Youth Libraries Group and School Library Association, where we exhibit at conferences, champion our creators for panel discussions, and more.

鈥淲e also collaborate closely with trusted library suppliers to make sure the right supplies find the right library shelves, and with organizations such as to support initiatives like the popular Summer Reading Challenge, where, this year, four Oxford Children’s titles were selected, including and . We’re always looking for new ways to celebrate reading through libraries, and most recently, our picture book author Donna David () was the keynote speaker at the Power of Libraries Conference and part of the London Book Fair panel on the role of libraries and bookshops in the National Year of Reading.鈥�

Julia Mielish

Discovery Manager

鈥淎s the Discovery Manager for OUP, I have the unique ability to apply my experiences as a librarian to听ensure听that we provide exceptional service and support for libraries that听acquire听OUP content. Working with the Discovery Working Group and our mutual library discovery partners, we prioritized setting up a NISO standard for KBART Automation, a service which streamlines and automates tracking of OUP content in library catalogs. This service is updated monthly with little interaction or ongoing maintenance, thanks to an API linking OUP to our discovery partners. In addition, libraries can听purchase听title-by-title content more freely without having to manage collections and activate specific titles within large collections. Librarians report being excited听for听the new offering and that it saves hours of manual work for their library staff.听听

鈥淲e are the first university press to automate KBART delivery, and work like this cannot be successful without strong collaboration across OUP that ensures that our metadata is accurate and can be delivered in a securely ensuring trustable data for our libraries.鈥�

Kate Dennis

Consortia Manager

鈥淎s a Consortia Manager at OUP, I build long-term partnerships with library consortia and work with them to ensure consortia agreements remain workable and sustainable in complex funding and policy environments.鈥�

Molly Hansen

Marketing Manager

鈥淚’ve always been a massive fan of libraries and librarians and am so grateful that my work at OUP intersects with them. Three years ago I completed a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro which gave me key insights into the ever-evolving world of libraries, archives, and more.听听

鈥淢y role at OUP recently expanded to include work on Library Community Initiatives which includes collaboration with librarians on conference sessions, webinars, and other content exploring changes in the industry and the evolving needs of library professionals.听I鈥檓听thrilled to be stepping into this work and look forward to working with librarians around the world.鈥�听

Song Pals is a new Pre-Primary course created in collaboration with , designed to make learning English fun, musical, and engaging for young learners in Spain. Launched in early 2025, the course brings together Super Simple’s catchy songs and characters with our expertise.

Built with extensive teacher input, Song Pals offers age-appropriate topics, flexible teaching pathways, and a wide range of resources to support diverse classroom needs.

We spoke to Louise Philip, ELT & CLIL Primary Product Manager, and Celia Garcia, Assistant Product Manager, about the creation of the course.

What specific needs or challenges did teachers express that led us to rethink traditional Pre-Primary course formats?

We did extensive market research, including classroom observations in several regions in Spain, interviews and an in-person focus group in Madrid with teachers using both course books and their own material. We discovered that all teachers shared similar challenges and had similar needs. What stood out most was that all teachers wanted flexibility鈥攖o choose topics in the order they wanted, and to be able to teach what they wanted in any order.

Also, many teachers told us that the pre-primary context is becoming increasingly fragmented: rotating teachers, very limited timetables, and the need to align with Spanish-language content, which leaves little room for more traditional, linear ELT courses.

How are children responding to听Song Pals, especially the music-based learning approach?

Teachers told us how much their students already loved Super Simple’s songs and characters, and they were used to using the songs in class to present and practice language. Children are also fascinated with the Noodle puppet which helps bring Song Pals to life!

In your view, what makes听Song Pals unique鈥攅ither in terms of pedagogy, format, or its collaboration with Super Simple?

There are so many things that make it unique! The fact that the topics are a result of teacher collaboration, the Fun Book format which really engaged students and teachers, the iterative content added termly to the Song Pals website to ensure engagement, and, of course, the fantastic songs.听Song Pals also includes customizable resources and innovative and digitized stories designed to interact directly with all the content in the pages.

Celia Garcia, Assistant Product Manager

What were the biggest considerations in balancing pedagogical integrity with flexibility?

We worked extensively to ensure that Song Pals aligns with local educational legislation while still providing the flexibility that teachers need. The听Song Pals stories strand (available with Super Fun Books) have themes relating to social and emotional development through the听Song Pals characters, which is an important area within the Spanish curriculum. We also ensured that each topic includes a wide range of graded resources in multiple formats, with clearly mapped targets and extension language. Many of these materials are even customizable. The goal was to give teachers everything they need in one place, so they don’t have to search for additional resources or spend extra time adapting materials.

We also provide learning situations, assessment material, and a Teacher’s Toolkit with teaching notes and a guide to make the most of the materials.

What was the rationale behind developing three different product formats?

The Pre-Primary market varies in terms of timetables across regions and school types, from one session a week to five, and in methodology, with some teachers requiring more extensive print formats for students and others requiring less so that they can also use their own resources in class. We also detected a need for a resource bank, leading to the creation of the Simple and Super Fun Books and the website-only option.

This week, Oxford Children’s published exploring how young writers across the UK are using language, drawing on thousands of stories submitted to the BBC 500 Words competition. Released ahead of World Book Day and during the UK鈥檚 National Year of Reading, the findings reveal that, despite technology鈥檚 expanding role, libraries, printed books, and traditional stories continue to spark children鈥檚 imaginations.听听

For over ten years, Oxford Children鈥檚 has partnered with to analyse children鈥檚 writing and understand how their language听and听interests听evolve. Each story听submitted听contributes to the Oxford Children鈥檚 Corpus, one of the world鈥檚 largest databases of children鈥檚 written English.听This year鈥檚 findings respond to ongoing conversations about children鈥檚 reading habits, digital engagement, and the future of literacy, providing a snapshot of the changing ways young people express themselves.听

Our latest analysis examines more than 46,500 stories written by UK children aged 5-11.听听Lexicographers, researchers, and editors from OUP explored emerging vocabulary, cultural references, and thematic trends to understand how children interpret the world around them.听听

Andrea Quincey

Director of Early Years and Primary Publishing

“It’s been fascinating to analyse the brilliant stories children have submitted over the decade and track the creative ways they are using language.”

How children are writing about artificial intelligence

One of the notable shifts in this year’s stories is in how young writers engage with AI, with mentions increasing 50% in the last year. In 2020,听AI appeared mostly in children’s stories in relation to an assistant or robot, and by 2023 it was often associated with a dangerous entity. In 2025, whilst children still express concern, there is an increase in听AI becoming an everyday feature in daily life or an imagine future, with examples of ChatGPT appearing as a character or narrator in stories.

Children also continue to reflect anxieties about screen time.听Doomscrolling appears for the first time in writing, and references to听brain rot, Oxford’s 2024 Word of the Year, jumped from one to 210 in the past year.

How gaming is shaping vocabulary

Gaming and social media are influencing children鈥檚 word choices. Mentions of听dandy, inspired by the Roblox virtual universe, increased by over seven times, while the viral听six-seven trend appears in stories more than 400 times. References to听tablet increased by 33% in the last year.

Libraries continue to inspire young writers

Despite the rise of technology, children鈥檚 fascination with libraries听remains听strong.听Over the听past decade,听mentions of听library听in children鈥檚 writing听have听more than doubled, while听mentions听of听librarian听increased by over 80%.听听

Since 2015, references to听book听have risen听25%,听comic听16%, and听novel 15% in the last year. Most听of听these refer听to听printed books, with听digital formats mentioned听far less鈥攎entions of听kindle听dropped more than 70% over the decade. Traditional stories continued to capture children鈥檚 imagination with听Cinderella听and Snow White in the top ten fictional characters children wrote about.听

Sarah Mears, Programmes Director at Libraries Connected, said:听鈥淲e are so excited to know that children are increasingly mentioning libraries and librarians in their 500 Words stories. Reading sparks children鈥檚 creativity and nurtures their empathy, both crucial life skills.鈥�听听

Celebrating the finalists

On Saturday 14 February, we marked a major milestone in truly enchanting style with Isadora Moon Day 2026, a nationwide celebration of 10 magical years of Harriet Muncaster’s much-loved half vampire, half fairy heroine.

In this , the celebration also offered a wonderful opportunity to champion reading for pleasure in all its forms. We’re proud to encourage children to read in whatever format excites them most, helping them discover stories that spark imagination and create lasting connections.

Reading can have a transformative impact on young people’s development and wellbeing: it opens minds to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives, and provides joy, motivation, and comfort, especially in uncertain times.

At OUP, we strive to create content for all levels and abilities that encourages reflection and helps every reader feel inspired by what they’re discovering. , with her charm, humour, and heartfelt adventures, continues to do exactly that.

 

The highlight of the celebratory weekend was our birthday event with Kibworth Books at the Sue Townsend Theatre in Leicester.

The 250-capacity event featured a read-along and draw-along with author Harriet Muncaster, audience interaction, and birthday-themed fun, followed by a signing session both at the theatre and later at Kibworth Bookshop.

The event is supported by a wider programme of appearances by Harriet Muncaster over the next few weeks, including the Stepping into Stories Festival with Paper Cat Bookshop in London, a virtual multi-school event with Read Holmfirth Bookshop, and an upcoming appearance at the in Reading on 14 March.

At the heart of the celebration was the publication of the , a beautiful hardback reedition of the first Isadora Moon book, published in 2016. With sprayed edges, a foil cover, bonus activities, and an exclusive new Pink Rabbit short story, the edition is a standout moment in our anniversary programme.

Isadora Moon Day was only the beginning, with many more moments to come throughout the year that will celebrate the 10th anniversary. With its joyful blend of reading, creativity, and celebration, Isadora Moon Day made for a perfect start to this National Year of Reading and an enchanting beginning to a landmark year for the much-loved series.

From bestselling books to animated adventures, Harriet Muncaster is sparking imaginations and helping children discover the joy of storytelling.

Her recent appearance at the BBC 500 Words event at CarFest was a perfect example of her hands-on approach to inspiring young readers and writers. During her Magic & Moonlights sessions, Harriet shared creative tips, writing prompts, and advice drawn from her own journey as a bestselling author, encouraging children to dream big and write boldly.听

As the author of the hugely popular Isadora Moon series, Harriet has captivated millions of young readers around the world. Translated into 42 languages, the series blends everyday emotions with magical adventures, helping children build confidence in reading while exploring themes of identity, friendship, and self-expression.

Now, Harriet is inviting readers to explore a new world with . Aimed at slightly older readers, the series supports the transition to more advanced fiction through a playful diary format filled with full-colour illustrations, notes and letters. Wiska, a tiny wiskling with a big heart, navigates friendships and challenges at Inkcap鈥檚 Academy. The story encourages empathy, creativity, and resilience.听听

Harriet鈥檚 storytelling has also leapt from the page to the screen. Emerald, a new animated TV show based on the world of Isadora Moon, launched on Sky TV on 1 September. Created with Kelebek Media, the series follows a mermaid princess as she faces unexpected challenges and learns to embrace change. It offers children a fresh way to engage with Harriet鈥檚 themes through visual storytelling.听

Through her engaging events, imaginative stories, and multimedia projects, Harriet continues to support and inspire young readers and writers at a time when the importance of literacy and storytelling has never been clearer. revealed that two in five (38.7%) children and young people aged 8 to 18 said they enjoyed writing in school either very much or quite a lot, and it is clear that there are barriers to having a positive experience of writing in the classroom.

Harriet’s work plays a vital role in reversing this trend by encouraging reading for pleasure and nurturing a lifelong love of learning through accessible, joyful storytelling.听The Telegraph recently dubbed her the “fairy godmother of newly independent readers” in their review of the new series.

Harriet Muncaster

鈥淚鈥檝e always believed that stories have the power to unlock imagination and confidence in children. Whether they鈥檙e reading or writing, I want to help them feel that their ideas matter and that they can create something magical with words. At a time when fewer children are enjoying reading for pleasure, it feels more important than ever to create books and experiences that make reading feel magical and meaningful, and to show every child that their voice and ideas matter.鈥�听

With Isadora Moon celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2026 and Wiska Wildflower taking flight, Harriet Muncaster continues to inspire a new generation of storytellers. Her work reminds us that reading and writing are not just skills; they鈥檙e gateways to imagination, empathy, and lifelong learning.

In today’s increasingly digital world, the landscape of language learning is rapidly evolving. At OUP, we understand that educators are seeking engaging and interactive methods to develop proficiency in new languages that reflect how they live and communicate. In this context, engaging teaching methods can play a crucial role in maintaining student interest and motivation in a world where attention spans can be fragmented. They must inspire engagement, foster confidence, and support real-world communication.听

This is what we call the听English File effect. It’s the reason听English File听is loved by teachers and learners across the world, because it’s easy to teach with, has engaging content that learners want to talk about, and makes lessons fun. Whether it is helping teachers take the stress out of lesson planning or getting students talking with confidence, the听English File effect is making the process of teaching and learning a language a joy.

The launch of the Fifth Edition at the IATEFL conference in Edinburgh was a celebration of everything English File represents: innovation, excellence, and a commitment to making language learning better.

Held at the National Gallery, the event brought together educators, authors, and academic leaders to explore how language learning continues to evolve and how resources like English File can support that journey.
