“It’s a soft target, isn’t it? If you close libraries, nobody dies – that’s what they think. But what’s happening is it’s society who suffers and people who suffer.” Says Michael Rosen https://t.co/RyNOCEMXkV

School libraries are more than books; they're gateways to knowledge!
✨ Let's appreciate the crucial role school libraries play in education.

[The FOSIL Group @TheFosilGroup]

"A library...makes possible meetings of mind & idea which are not limited by our normal boundaries of time, space, & social or economic level...The technical means of his encounter may be a record, a tape, a film, a print-out or -- most radical of all -- a book." (Douglas Knight)

[The FOSIL Group @TheFosilGroup]

"The librarian of today & tomorrow must have many technical & professional skills, but above all they must have skill with people. They are a teacher whose subject is learning itself, & their class has no limits on age, field of study, or degree of competence." (Douglas Knight)

[Great School Libraries @GreatSchLibs]

Thank you @PhilipPullman! Here at the #GreatSchoolLibraries campaign we are working to ensure that all children have access to a school library and librarian. Librarians are not just experts in reading for pleasure but also-crucially-integral to schools’ educational purposes.

[FHS Library @FHS_Lib]

"The school librarian has a holistic view of the school’s academic principles & of its character & objectives.
We defy convention & classification.
We work across the school, across the curriculum & across departments" 💪
