    Schools libraries are too often a "wasted resource" which should be brought into the mainstream of teaching, says a report. (BBC News) Full BBC article at http://twe.tc/oL "...while school libraries have a unique role in raising pupils' literacy levels, promoting reading for pleasure and improving their access to knowledge, in many schools the library is a wasted resource because it is poorly embedded in the infrastructure of the school and absent from school development plans.

It is a story that spans two continents and eight countries."
