School Library Health Check™
A structured assessment of an existing school or institutional library, delivered by Absolute Royal Research & Literacy Centre (ARRLC), with professional findings, priority recommendations and a practical improvement plan.
What Absolute Royal Group provides
Many schools already have a library, a reading corner or a book store room — but few have had it professionally assessed. The School Library Health Check™ reviews the facility as it actually operates and sets out what needs attention first.
The assessment is carried out by ARRLC and covers the collection, how it is organised and catalogued, how accessible it is to pupils and staff, staffing and supervision, procedures and records, technology, policies and how the library is actually used.
Who this service is for
- Basic and secondary schools with an existing library or reading facility
- Colleges, training institutions and educational NGOs
- School management and boards planning library improvement
- Institutions preparing for inspection, accreditation or donor reporting
Problems this service addresses
- A library that exists but is not properly organised or used
- No catalogue, classification or lending records
- Books stored rather than accessible to pupils
- No policies, procedures or clear staff responsibilities
- No basis for deciding what to improve first
