Huge congratulations to Victoria Dilly and the School Library Association - looking forward to working with you championing all school librarians @bookactivist1 @uksla @CILIPinfo @GreatSchLibs @CILIPSLG https://t.co/lpsPeVaZcj #LibrariesChangeLives #SchoolLibraries

[Louis Coiffait-Gunn @LouisMMCoiffait]

Great questions @PauletteHamilto MP on school libraries https://t.co/JJ3uaZWtbf & reading https://t.co/BsTf7iAMGx. Gathering basic data about school librarians, researching their impact, and sharing good practice would help reading and much more @GreatSchLibs

[The FOSIL Group @TheFosilGroup]

Thank you for having me!

A beautiful space for learning and letting the imagination run wild.

Our campaign committee member @Leiahillman hosted @tomrutland in the wonderful school library at Swiss Gardens Primary School in West Sussex today to tell him about the #GreatSchoolLibraries campaign and to find out more about the #schoollibrary provision in his constituency. 📚

This has been reshared a lot recently. Many #schoollibrarians are sharing stats which show that reading in their schools is not in decline-quite the reverse. The evidence is clear: having a librarian in school can build and embed a reading culture. Follow us to find out more.

[National Literacy Trust @Literacy_Trust]

⚠️Reading enjoyment has fallen across all ages.⚠️

The sharpest decline is among pupils aged 11-14 - from 40.4% in 2023 to 30.7% in 2024. As children transition to secondary school, their reading engagement dips - a trend that is worsening.

[FHS Library @FHS_Lib]

45% of @Forest_HillSch respondents aged 11-16 enjoy free time reading, compared to 28% of boys nationally.
😊🤩
73% read 'at least' weekly, a diet including 60% non-fiction books, 73% fiction books, 56% Graphic Novels & 42% magazines

1/ This year my school library has loaned more books than ever before. I’ve spent 2 years building up a collection of books that the kids actually want to read - comedy, romance & crime are our most popular genres, comics the most popular medium. Years 7, 8 & 9

[Miranda McKearney OBE @MirandaMcK]

Today I’m heading to Parliament, to celebrate 25 years of magnificent ⁦@readingagency⁩ work with fantastic #libraries on #summerreadingchallenge. Massive #ReadingforPleasure intervention. This is my kitchen table, where the idea started! I remain in awe of #librarians💪🌟😊

[Great School Libraries @GreatSchLibs]

We are delighted that @frankcottrell_b is the new #childrenslaureate. His passion and determination to address inequality builds on the brilliant work of @JosephACoelho. Our campaign to ensure that ALL children have access to a school library staffed by a librarian continues…!

Thank you to @RomaTheEngineer for championing the power of school libraries. 🙌🏼

#GreatSchoolLibraries have the power to transform the futures of our young people.

And this quote from @iapsuk CEO, Dominic Norrish, captures that transformative power perfectly. 👏🏼💜

We love seeing heads of educational institutions deem access to books as "essential". 👏🏼

These #TuesdayThoughts from @Edgehill Vice Chancellor, Dr John Cater, stress the opportunities that books can unlock.

Libraries provide this access, which is why they're so important. 💜
