SaveERCSchoolLibrarians

Please take some time to support this important initiative to secure pupils' access to a professional, qualified librarian at their school.

Put #SchoolLibrarians on a statutory footing! sundaypost.com/fp/call-for-ch…

We continue to urge @EastRenCouncil to support their professional school librarians and clarify the plan for the scope and nature of the service moving forward. #letthemread

A thread about the importance of libraries... 🧵📚 (1/10)

Thankyou @theguardian! For children growing up in this cost of living crisis, school libraries should be a necessity rather than an optional extra ALL children should be able to read for pleasure @Literacy_Trust @WorldBookDayUK @uksla @frankcottrell_b theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We wait to see the precise outcome of Wednesday's vote for the valiant school librarians of East Renfrewshire. We call on all the relevant authorities to care for their colleagues at the heart of the discussions. #saveourschoollibrarians #publicservice

Shame on us! School librarians being ‘wiped out’ in parts of Scotland - once global exemplar of excellence in education and libraries #literacy #attainment #schools #schoollibraries @CILIPScotland tes.com/magazine/news/…

Strong #libraries enable strong democracies and open societies – creating opportunities for everyone to learn, to grow and to fulfil their potential, at every stage of their lives. #BuildFuturesBuildLibraries

By the end of this week we will find out if East Renfrewshire Secondary Schools will still have a school library service. Let me know what a school library means to you!

@Independent A lovely reflection on the social and emotional aspects of reading together. Also heals the strange view that people are either readers OR sporty, quiet OR active. @EastRenCouncil #saveourlibrarians

“An extensive body of evidence highlights the contribution of school librarians to improved exam scores & achievement, & their role in creating a safe, supportive & inclusive learning environment” — ⁦⁦@SeanJMcNamara1⁩ ⁦@CILIPScotland⁩ 👏🏼 👏🏼 heraldscotland.com/business_hq/23…

This is great - study shows that every £1 spent on library services creates £6 in ‘social value’.

@SeanJMcNamara1 @CILIPScotland Thank you!

Call from @CILIPScotland for urgent intervention over threats to remove all school librarian posts in some areas.

@CILIPScotland Thank you for raising your voice.@EastRenCouncil

Delighted to see the @LourdesSec #SchoolLibrary becoming the location of choice for pupils trying out new activities - today there was #crochet and #chess! #SchoolLibraries #GlasgowSchoolLibraries

We know that #GreatSchoolLibraries are so much more than a room of books... 📚 As this GSL survey respondent shows, they're also a safe space where students can find valuable support and someone who will listen. 💜 #edutwitter #LifeChangingLibraries @CressidaCowell

@EastRenCouncil Please consider this way forward.
