5. UK Online Petition E-petition UK. (2010). Number 10.gov.uk: The official site of the Prime Minister’s Office, at URL: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page22227 Reply Brown Government: “School libraries are a key resource for pupils and teachers. They support the National Curriculum by providing books and ICT equipment, and at their best they are a valuable asset to teachers and a source of enjoyment and learning for children and young people. However, the provision of a school library is not a statutory requirement, and there are no current plans to alter this and change the legislation. It is the Government’s policy to put as much money as possible directly into schools’ budgets, allowing schools to target resources appropriately and to make their own choices about their school library provision and book resourcing.” Source: http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page22227 May 14, 2011 5 ECIS 2011 - Istanbul
