Welcome
 This
site supports Schools Library Services and school librarians
in England and helps them assert the importance of their role
and the significance of the school library.
It is in the first place designed for Schools
Library Services and those librarians who are co-ordinating
advocacy activities across a LEA during the Campaign. They
will find case studies and supporting material. There is a
separate area for individual school librarians who wish to
participate in the Campaign - please click
here.
The
Department for Education and Skills (DfES) working with
the Chartered
Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP),
the Association of Senior Children's and Education Librarians
(ASCEL) and the School Library
Association (SLA) are supporting the advocacy of school
libraries during the school year of 2003/4 with the publication and
the promotion of a special brochure; "School
Libraries Making a Difference" as part of an advocacy
campaign. This is the campaign website. It provides strategies,
arguments, facts and figures to support the campaign.
Over
80% of English LEAs are already subscribed to the promotion
through their Schools Library Service. To find out more about
what is happening in your area contact your local Schools
Library Service.
