The countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2026 is on! While students are busy making match predictions, school libraries can use that exact same energy to boost reading engagement.

If a student insists they aren't a reader, hand them a book of player statistics, an atlas of the 16 host cities, or invite them to write a post-match report. Sports reading counts! 📈

We’ve put together a quick guide featuring low-prep library display ideas, reading league tables, and details on how to get pre-made World Cup news pages dropped straight onto your Oliver news page.

Your students are already using AI. But do they know how to check what it tells them? 🤔

We've refreshed one of our favourite blog posts with practical AI literacy ideas for school libraries, from "fact-check the chatbot" to spotting AI-generated text and images.

It's all built on the source-evaluation skills you're already teaching, with free resources you can use right away.

Somewhere out there is a kid who walked into the school library today because:
• the cafeteria was too loud
• home isn't safe
• they don't have friends yet
• they finished their book at 11pm and need the next one now
• it's the only quiet place they get all day

School libraries aren't quiet because nothing's happening. They're quiet because everything is.

50+ years of research, 60+ studies: kids with a well-resourced library and a qualified librarian score higher in reading and the biggest gains go to the kids who need them most.

Tag the librarian who changed your life. They probably don't know they did. 💛

What a trip. ✈️

Kylie and Denise recently spent time at Shawnigan Lake School on Vancouver Island, Canada, including a seaplane ride in from Vancouver Harbour that we won't be forgetting any time soon.

The school's library is something special: two storeys of timber beams, beautiful reading spaces, and a collection that genuinely reflects its students and community. Add the wider campus (think historic chapel, lakeside grounds, and resident deer sculpture) and you can see why students thrive here.

A huge thank you to the Shawnigan team for showing us around. Visits like this fuel everything we do back home.

Have you visited a library lately that stopped you in your tracks? 📚
