No School Library? Let’s change that!  We’re pleased to share a fantastic opportunity from the National Literacy Trust for primary schools without a library or designated reading space.

Their Libraries for Primaries programme is fully funded and free to join, offering eligible schools an incredible  package of books, resources, training and support to establish or improve a school library. Reading for pleasure can boost children’s wellbeing and attainment across subjects. By providing access to a large range of books, schools can support whole-setting reading culture – with immediate and long-term benefits

What you’ll get (worth over £6,500!)

  • 500 brand-new, high-quality, diverse books
  • Audiobook player & story cards
  • Library furniture (modular shelving & soft seating)
  • Training for 2 staff
  • Membership to the National Literacy Trust and access to author visits

“It’s been a catalyst for reading in our school – it’s given our children the gift of reading.” – Participating teacher, Libraries for Primaries
