This is excellent news. The school library was the most important place at school for me throughout primary, secondary, and sixth form. I can’t imagine not having one.
This is good news in theory, but it is absolutely not going to happen. Reeves is currently letting councils go bankrupt.
She might forget ever school to have a room that they call a library, but she’s creating material conditions that make actually having a library in many schools impossible.
Its just utter virtue signaling.
I don’t support compelling schools to have one. What would they define as a library? A bookcase with the ability to borrow books? Or thousands of books in an entire room.
Just seems like a bad use of resources to try to recreate something from the past. Libraries are dying across the globe, i do support cities and towns having access to at least one library which children can also use.
Let the schools themselves decide what they need. Most charity shops struggle to sell books and sell them for pennies, they are accessible and affordable without needing to spend £120M on getting books to children.
Even in the 2000s most books were loaned 3-4 times before being removed.
That must have been some ideas session on the train to Liverpool.
Rejected ideas.
– Every child gets an asylum seeker pen pal
– Chinese taught in every school so they can move to the only country that will still have jobs in 20 years.
– Homework to be reoriented around inputting what Mummy and Daddy have done today into a Palantir provided portal.
– Public private partnership to put Greggs in every school playground.
As usual, Labour suggest something common sense, that people actually want (Literally whingeing about library closures in a post about restoring libraries cut under previous gov), and the comments are almost all people whingeing about it.
“WE NEED MORE LIBRARIES! THEY WERE CUT UNDER PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT!”
*Labour proposes a way to restore libraries*
“NO FUCK YOU I HATE YOU FOR EXISTING THIS IS SHIT BECAUSE I TREAT POLITICS LIKE TEAM SPORTS”
You guys have primary schools without a library? I loved the libraries in my schools. The school librarian was a crucial extra adult for lots of kids who didn’t have anyone at home or in class they could confide in.
Or we could just operate in 2025 and give people an allowance and directions to the Kindle app on their phone…
I’m sorry, there are primary schools in this country that *don’t* have a library? What the absolute fuck?
Are there not libraries in every primary school in England already? What the hell
I would have assumed they all had libraries already.
What?!?
