This has been reshared a lot recently. Many #schoollibrarians are sharing stats which show that reading in their schools is not in decline-quite the reverse. The evidence is clear: having a librarian in school can build and embed a reading culture. Follow us to find out more.
⚠️Reading enjoyment has fallen across all ages.⚠️
The sharpest decline is among pupils aged 11-14 - from 40.4% in 2023 to 30.7% in 2024. As children transition to secondary school, their reading engagement dips - a trend that is worsening.

1/ This year my school library has loaned more books than ever before. I’ve spent 2 years building up a collection of books that the kids actually want to read - comedy, romance & crime are our most popular genres, comics the most popular medium. Years 7, 8 & 9

Today I’m heading to Parliament, to celebrate 25 years of magnificent @readingagency work with fantastic #libraries on #summerreadingchallenge. Massive #ReadingforPleasure intervention. This is my kitchen table, where the idea started! I remain in awe of #librarians💪🌟😊
We are delighted that @frankcottrell_b is the new #childrenslaureate. His passion and determination to address inequality builds on the brilliant work of @JosephACoelho. Our campaign to ensure that ALL children have access to a school library staffed by a librarian continues…!
Thank you to @RomaTheEngineer for championing the power of school libraries. 🙌🏼

#GreatSchoolLibraries have the power to transform the futures of our young people.
And this quote from @iapsuk CEO, Dominic Norrish, captures that transformative power perfectly. 👏🏼💜
#ThursdayThoughts
We love seeing heads of educational institutions deem access to books as "essential". 👏🏼
These #TuesdayThoughts from @Edgehill Vice Chancellor, Dr John Cater, stress the opportunities that books can unlock.
Libraries provide this access, which is why they're so important. 💜
