Love our Libraries

Our latest research review shows that school libraries have a positive impact on all areas of pupils’ learning, including the development of reading and writing skills, their self-esteem and their overall academic attainment. 

The review also highlighted that good primary school libraries are run by knowledgeable staff and supportive parents and volunteers, who work together with access to library professionals. They also contain a high quality range of books and are integrated into the curriculum.

The online Foyle Primary School Library Course, which is being funded by the Foyle Foundation, is now available to all members of the National Literacy Trust. The e-learning course will include four modules which will provide the skills, knowledge and access to expertise that anyone in a school needs to transform their primary school library.
