I've just noticed an article in The Bookseller (2nd May, 2017 by Heloise Wood) talking about the intention of Scotland's First Deputy Minister, John Swinney, to develop a national policy on school libraries.

Having received a petition for a national strategy from Duncan Wright, campaigner and CILIP Scotland (CILIPS) trustee, on behalf of Save Scotland’s School Libraries, John Swinney described it to the Public Petitions Committee as a 'fair point'. According to The Bookseller, he said: “I acknowledge and strongly support the provision of school libraries, which are an important part of the work that we undertake in encouraging an appreciation of literacy and literature among young people. I do not think that there is unanimity on the need to have a national strategy, but the petitioner makes a fair point about the importance of having such an approach and it is my intention to formulate such a strategy."
