Health Check for the Primary School Library

‘School libraries are vital to giving all children

access to books and reading’ BookTrust 2021

Is your library a vibrant, colourful, warm and exciting place to visit and spend time in? Is it filled with gorgeous books, tempting children to pick them up?

Does your library promote positive associations with books and reading?  

Or, would your school library benefit from some tender loving care and attention?

We believe a school library can be the beating heart of a school and sadly, many of your pupils may not have many (or any) books at home, and with decades of research continually demonstrating the life-changing impact that reading for pleasure has on a child’s educational development, health and well-being, personal growth and future prospects (no matter their starting point in life), your school library really matters!

Let LRH help you revitalise and reinvigorate your library, and support you to turn your designated library space, no matter how big or small, into a colourful, vibrant, warm and exciting space filled with books to take your readers on journeys and adventures.
