    National Survey of School Libraries

    Make sure you take part in this important survey. Please encourage your friends and colleagues to complete the survey as well.

    The School Libraries Group is conducting a national survey of school libraries, with funds provided by the Wendy Drewett Bequest. The objectives of the survey are to establish the extent to which funding for, and use of, school libraries is increasing, holding or declining; the level and types of staffing and whether and to what extent activities in and use of library services have changed.

    Please help us to build up a full UK picture of school libraries by completing the questionnaire.

    The current figures for responses are:-  1302 at 20/01/10

    The responses so far are mainly from secondary schools. Please encourage primary colleagues to take part in the survey.

    This work is supported by the School Library Association and CILIP Scotland. The survey is being managed by Information Management Associates.
