School libraries are the hubs that foster creativity, innovation and wellbeing. School libraries blend technology, literature, and experiential learning to create a space where ideas come to life.
School Libraries Supporting Reading and Literacy
School libraries play a vital role in promoting reading and literacy by providing access to diverse materials, fostering a love of reading, and offering programs that encourage exploration and critical thinking. Through book clubs, reading challenges, and collaboration with teachers, libraries help build a reading culture where students develop lifelong literacy skills and a passion for learning.
School Libraries Supporting Innovation and Creativity
School libraries foster innovation and creativity by offering makerspaces or spaces for hands-on experiential learning opportunities. These spaces provide access to technology, tools, and resources that encourage students to explore, prototype, design, test, refine, and create. Through these projects, libraries inspire problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration, empowering students to innovate and develop real-world skills.
