The Scottish Government established the School Library Improvement Fund (SLIF) administered by the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC). Supporting creative and innovative projects, the Fund is available to all state-run nurseries, primary schools, and secondary schools and is part of a range of measures put in place to improve and invest in Scotland's school library facilities. This article discusses how the SLIF: (1) plays an important role in helping school library services achieve the key aims of "Vibrant Libraries, Thriving Schools"--the national strategy for the development of school libraries in Scotland; and (2) supported over 30 projects throughout Scotland--many championing inclusion and development, paramount during the difficult pandemic learning period.
