We all understand the importance of school libraries and school librarians and the real advantages of them. There are many other challenges within school buildings. I hope the issue of school libraries and school librarians is a very strong priority for the Minister and her Department. We all know the advantages they can bring in both primary and secondary schools. We all know the importance of reading and how a child can develop so much through reading and of having a librarian there to encourage them. Does the Minister have any plans for the further expansion of school libraries and librarians?
