School Libraries Petition
Date: 3rd Jul 2009
Frances Lincoln supports the petition to 10 Downing Street to make school libraries compulsory. It’s in all our interests to get as many people as possible to support this petition and the wider campaign for libraries as fundamental agents of promoting reading.
The petition reads:
We, the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to make school libraries statutory
We, the undersigned, call on Her Majesty's Government to accept in principle that it will make school libraries, run by properly qualified staff, statutory and to prepare the necessary legislation in consultation with the appropriate professional associations and trade unions.
