Vision statement
The School Library Association believes in a world where every child and all school staff have the support of an expert guide in reading, research and information/critical literacy and access to a wide and varied range of resources.
Mission statement
The SLA is a UK focused charity which supports everyone involved in school libraries. We believe that every pupil is entitled to effective school library provision and the educational, emotional and developmental benefits that come with it. The SLA is committed to supporting, promoting and sustaining high quality reading and teaching and learning opportunities for all in a diverse and changing world.
Our Values
Accountability
Everything the School Library Association does will be able to stand the test of scrutiny by the public, the media, the Charity Commission, members, stakeholders, funders, parliament and the courts.
Integrity and honesty
These will be the hallmarks of all conduct when dealing with colleagues within the School Library Association and equally when dealing with individuals and institutions outside it.
Transparency
The School Library Association strives to maintain an atmosphere of openness throughout the organisation to promote confidence of the public, stakeholders, staff, charity regulators and parliament.
