Children reading in England
https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...uld-be-for-all
Quote:
This is why the borrowable book is such an important part of the reading ecology. Yet libraries have long been in the frontline of cuts to public services, and those in schools have fared worst of all. While prisons in the UK are legally obliged to have libraries, primary schools are not. The result, according to one survey, is that one in seven have no library space at all. This disadvantage is skewed towards the north of England, where children’s reading attainment at 10 and 11 is already lower.
