Why School Libraries Matter for Teaching

The Balearic Islands’ education authorities are focusing on reading and the resources available in school libraries.

Children who read confidently can also find it easier to learn in other subjects. The official text therefore describes reading ability as a foundation for children’s and young people’s personal and educational development.

Spanish education law provides for reading time during the school day. Education authorities are also expected to promote initiatives that strengthen reading habits and skills.

School libraries are part of that effort. The collections in public schools are to be expanded gradually. Books can thus support reading activities in schools and make it easier for pupils to access information.

For schools on Mallorca, the issue is also linked to the Balearic Islands’ education goals: equal opportunities, new approaches to teaching and higher-quality education.
