Great news for your school library
With the £5 million secondary school library fund launching this April, your school will receive around £1,400 to invest in new books for 2026/27.
But here’s the real opportunity…
Make your funding go twice as far
At Laburnum House Educational, all our books are available at up to 50% off RRP — meaning your £1,400 budget could deliver up to £2,800 worth of books.
