Our History
The SLA was set up in 1937. We have been focused on supporting school library staff since then, with our main services being our journal, advice line, training and advocacy for the sector.
While these remain our most recognisable services we now also offer mentoring, online courses, webcasts, CPD blogs, and loads of online resources.
You can read about our history in our 85th anniversary booklet, produced by then Chair, Sue Bastone.
