There are over 3500 public libraries in the UK and many more can be found in universities, museums, and schools. In contrast, in Hong Kong there are just 70!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A school library is a school\u2019s physical and digital learning space where reading, inquiry, research, thinking, imagination, and creativity are central to students\u2019 information-to-knowledge journey and to their personal, social, and cultural growth”<\/p>Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Guidelines<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In schools, the library is often the heart of the community. A library is so much more than an educational space, it can also be a meeting place, a quiet place, and a comfy place to relax and escape into the world of a book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In primary schools, it is common to have a library room, which may also be used for group work or extracurriculars. Where there is not a dedicated room, bookshelves may be found in classrooms, in corridors, or even on a mobile trolley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In secondary schools, libraries filled with bookshelves are less common. Many secondary school libraries are now computer spaces, often named \u2018learning hub\u2019 or \u2018learning resource centre\u2019. They are used to host lessons requiring computer access or homework clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every school will have their own policy for borrowing books, giving your child access to a much broader range of books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why should children borrow books? Don\u2019t they have enough reading to do already?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When our tutors ask students the question \u201cWhat are you reading at the moment?\u201d they are often told, \u201cWe\u2019re reading X book in school, but I don\u2019t have time to read anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst any kind of reading is going to be beneficial, decades of research has shown that there are many additional benefits when children choose a book to read themselves and read for their own pleasure and enjoyment. To name just a few, reading for pleasure makes children happier and healthier, and also improves future economic success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite this, The National Literacy Trust reported in 2023 that only 43% of children and young people say they read for pleasure. In addition, recent research has revealed that 1 in 7 primary schools do not have a dedicated library space, making it harder for children to access a range of good books to read.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The National Literacy Trust has launched a campaign to take action and revitalise school libraries. To find out more and how you can support the cause, visit their website: https:\/\/literacytrust.org.uk\/policy-and-campaigns\/libraryalliance\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our highly experienced teaching team say that the mark of a good reader is a child who usually has at least one book that they are currently reading and also has a plan for what they are going to read next. If you are looking for books to suggest to your child, take a look at our latest reading recommendations<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If reading for pleasure is something your child struggles with, this may come from a lack of confidence, a lack of inspiration, or concerns about time. Our Excellence in English courses expose students to a wide range of level-appropriate texts, building their skills and confidence to inspire them to new heights in their reading.
