Your school library questions, answered
How do I start a school library?
A library audit on your existing book stock will help identify any stock gaps which need filling to build up your library stock.
Effective ways to building your school library book stock includes book packs, which include a variety of titles based on a theme or age group, or bespoke selections, unique to your school's reading needs.
How do you make a good reading space?
Innovative book displays showcasing eye-catching titles will help to inspire students. Classroom reading areas should provide a comfortable space for group activities and independent reading.
