The MET Bookshelf

The MET Bookshelf contains books written – and donated – by MET members. Books placed on this travelling bookshelf are relevant to MET's objective of “fostering high-quality language support services” and can be perused at METMs and some MET workshop days. 

Between events, a MET member serves as the Bookshelf custodian and is invited to read the volumes during their tenure.

If you have written, edited or contributed to a book that might be suitable for inclusion, or if you are interested in being a future custodian, please contact MET's vice-chair.
