Poster with the map of Scotland. Title says 'The value and impact of Scotland's school libraries: final report'

Infographic quote that reads: 'School libraries are not optional extras; they are essential for equitable education. As librarians, educators, parents and policymakers read these pages, I hope they hear the plea: invest in people, space and resources, and the benefits – raised attainment, better mental health and more informed pupils – will be unmistakable.' Quote is from Derek France, Preston Lodge High School, East Lothian Secondary School Librarian of the Year (2022) Scottish Book Trust Reading Champion (2025)

Infographic containing two facts. They are: Fact: Research proves having a school library and librarian delivers higher test scores equating to academic attainment, successful curriculum or learning outcomes, and positive attitudes towards learning. Fact: There is no legal requirement for schools in Scotland to have a school library and librarian.

Infographic card that reads: 'What can be done? Scottish Book Trust recommends: 1. Scottish Government introduces a statutory requirement for secondary schools to operate a high-quality school library service, staffed by a qualified school librarian. 2. Scottish Government and local authorities work with stakeholders to ensure there’s a set standard of provision across the country. 3. Scottish Government and local authorities work together to empower secondary schools across Scotland with funding and resources to operate a high-quality school library service, staffed by a qualified school librarian. 4. Secondary school management teams appropriately train and support their librarians to deliver a high-quality library service. '

Do you believe all schools should have a library? 📚

It might surprise you, therefore, that there is no legal requirement for Scotland’s schools to have a school library or librarian.

We are calling on Scottish Government to change this story.

All of our library ambassadors met together to decide what we shall do this year! I heard the words 'newsletter' and 'trolley decorating', and 'clapping rhymes'.... sounds exciting!
