An East Lothian school librarian has expressed his delight after being named the best in the UK.
Derek France, 46, has worked at Preston Lodge High School in Prestonpans since 2019, and has now officially been recognised as UK School Librarian of the Year.
After being nominated by his headteacher, Derek went through a rigorous selection process, before being named as the winner at a ceremony in Swindon last week.
