Please take some time to support this important initiative to secure pupils' access to a professional, qualified librarian at their school.

We continue to urge @EastRenCouncil to support their professional school librarians and
clarify the plan for the scope and nature of the service moving forward. #letthemread

A thread about the importance of libraries... 🧵📚 (1/10)

[Cressida Cowell @CressidaCowell]

Thankyou @theguardian! For children growing up in this cost of living crisis, school libraries should be a necessity rather than an optional extra
ALL children should be able to read for pleasure

We wait to see the precise outcome of Wednesday's vote for the valiant school librarians of East Renfrewshire. We call on all the relevant authorities to care for their colleagues at the heart of the discussions. #saveourschoollibrarians #publicservice

Shame on us! School librarians being ‘wiped out’ in parts of Scotland - once global exemplar of excellence in education and libraries #literacy #attainment #schools #schoollibraries @CILIPScotland

Strong #libraries enable strong democracies and open societies – creating opportunities for everyone to learn, to grow and to fulfil their potential, at every stage of their lives.

By the end of this week we will find out if East Renfrewshire Secondary Schools will still have a school library service. Let me know what a school library means to you!

@Independent A lovely reflection on the social and emotional aspects of reading together. Also heals the strange view that people are either readers OR sporty, quiet OR active. @EastRenCouncil #saveourlibrarians

“An extensive body of evidence highlights the contribution of school librarians to improved exam scores & achievement, & their role in creating a safe, supportive & inclusive learning environment” — ⁦⁦@SeanJMcNamara1⁩ ⁦@CILIPScotland⁩ 👏🏼 👏🏼 https://t.co/56zERSIP5W

[Sean McNamara @SeanJMcNamara1]

This is great - study shows that every £1 spent on library services creates £6 in ‘social value’.

@SeanJMcNamara1 @CILIPScotland Thank you!

[SaveERCSchoolLibrarians @righttoreadERC]

@OLM_Primary @scottishbktrust What will happen to the awarded status in the event of the #schoollibrarian being deleted? Presumably the honest, but regrettable, action would be to return the award?

[Lourdes Library @LibLourdes]

Delighted to see the @LourdesSec #SchoolLibrary becoming the location of choice for pupils trying out new activities - today there was #crochet and #chess! #SchoolLibraries #GlasgowSchoolLibraries

[Great School Libraries @GreatSchLibs]

We know that #GreatSchoolLibraries are so much more than a room of books... 📚

As this GSL survey respondent shows, they're also a safe space where students can find valuable support and someone who will listen. 💜

@EastRenCouncil Please consider this way forward.

[Sean McNamara @SeanJMcNamara1]

Midlothian Council decide not to take school and public library cuts. "Alternative ways to generate savings including maximising services on offer in libraries will be looked at across the community and school libraries" at next Council meeting in June https://t.co/BT4oaDlCBG
