New booklets published for schools

As a partner in Enjoying Reading, the National Literacy Trust developed these advocacy booklets by bringing together practitioners for a conference in November 2007.

Experts were there from primary and secondary schools, public libraries, school library services, local authorities and voluntary organisations. They all share a belief in the power of reading to transform lives and the important role that an effective partnership between the school, school library, school library service and public library has in supporting children's reading.

Enjoying Reading is led by The Reading Agency and funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). Other partners are the National Literacy Trust, the School Library Association, the Society of Chief Librarians, the Association of Senior Children’s and Education Librarians and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.

Wider contributors include the National Primary and Secondary Strategies, Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Arts Council England, Creative Partnerships, and the United Kingdom Literacy Association.

Their Reading Futures hosts the Enjoying Reading Website.
