Advocacy

Enjoying Reading Primary School Booklet (pdf, 471kb)
Enjoying Reading Secondary School Booklet (pdf, 654kb)

As a partner in Enjoying Reading, the National Literacy Trust has worked with practitioners to develop two new advocacy booklets. The 24 page booklets look at reader motivation and address how public library and primary school partnerships can support teachers in delivering the curriculum. They also contain examples of successful school-library partnerships.

The Libraries and Schools Policy Map (pdf, 47kb) outlines key government policies and policy drivers coming from:

The document summarises the aims of each policy and how libraries can help schools to meet them.
