Amsterdam Statement on School Libraries and Information Literacy

International research shows that the quality of students' learning outcomes is greatly enhanced by effective school libraries.

All learners in each country of Europe are entitled to quality school library/media centres and services.

In order to achive this, each country in Europe, and the European Union, should adopt and implement the principles of the IFLA / UNESCO School Library Manifesto.
