What we do
“We must embrace technology in our pursuit of improving access to books. Across human history, the first true literacy revolution was the invention of scrolls and paper… The second innovation was the printing press, bringing books and literacy to the people… Many of us have lived through a similarly important revolution in the development of e-books and audiobooks, reinventing the way we read.”
Alexander Stafford MP, Hansard, Children’s Access to Books, June 2023Â
ELibraries for Schools (ELFS) is a new charity which seeks to improve access to books for children by providing them with a funded eBook library through their school.
We are currently setting up pilot projects with a number of schools. Each pilot school will select their elibrary using our search and discovery engine. ELFS is seeking funding for these pilots from corporate sponsors, grants and donations.
ELFS is also engaged in lobbying for a National School eBook Library in each of the UK’s regions, in support of our long term goal to provide all children in the UK with access to the entire catalogue of children’s books.
