|May 28, 2025
School libraries across North Lanarkshire are set to benefit from a £150,000 funding injection earmarked for projects supporting the development of employability skills, digital literacy and family learning, through the 2025/26 School Library Improvement Fund (SLIF).
Administered by the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) on behalf of the Scottish Government, SLIF supports creative and innovative projects in line with the key aims of 'Vibrant Libraries, Thriving Schools' - the national strategy for the development of school libraries.
Open to all state-run nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools in North Lanarkshire, this year's fund will prioritise project applications which promote the themes of cross curricular working and developing employability skills, delivering digital literacy and exploring digital creativity, and cluster working and family learning.
The 2025-26 SLIF brings the total investment from the Scottish Government to £1.87 million over the lifetime of the scheme.
