No. 10 Petition - Make school libraries statutory

Alan Gibbons, an author we have a good relationship with due to his work with Barrington Stoke, has long been a advocate for the importance of school libraries, with his Campaign for the Book.

He has organised a petition on the 10 Downing Street website to make school libraries statutory, I urge you to sign it today


"We, the undersigned, call on Her Majesty’s Government to accept in principle that it will make school libraries, run by properly qualified staff, statutory and to prepare the necessary legislation in consultation with the appropriate professional associations and trade unions."
