School libraries are an integral part of the education system, helping every learner begin a relationship with the library that should be lifelong – from school to college or university, though to work and public libraries.
This fully updated and revised version of the essential CILIP-endorsed guidelines for secondary school libraries addresses the current and changing schools’ landscape and impact of social, cultural and technological changes of recent years. Focusing on the librarian at the heart of the school, each chapter interweaves best practice, technological development and context-specific options to provide clear guidance and support for all involved in the provision of school library services. The guidelines cover:
- staffing and management
- policies and planning
- information literacy
- developing students as readers
- marketing, promotion and advocacy
- evaluation
- partnership
- CPD
- mental health and wellbeing.
Developed with an international audience in mind, these guidelines provide a comprehensive and flexible model for setting up and running a modern school library service. A seminal work that is vital reading for those working in school library services, teachers, school governors and students of librarianship.
