Libraries

Inspiring a love of reading through beautiful libraries

A school library should be more than a room of books — it should be a sanctuary that inspires children to read. A welcoming, comfortable space with something for everyone: comics, magazines, fact books and stories. With over 40 child-led libraries created, ABC knows exactly what children need to fall in love with their library space.

Transform your school with an inspiring library

Many primary schools lack a library—and those that do often have outdated books and uninspiring spaces. ABC can help change that by creating a library children love to visit.

One in seven schools doesn’t have a library, rising to one in five in deprived areas. Could your school library use some love? Whether it’s an IT suite, spare room, or outdoor area, we can help you transform it into a vibrant reading space.

What is an ABC library?

It’s a bespoke space, imagined by the children and created by us. ABC Book Club welcome the children’s ideas – after all the library will be theirs to visit. ABC Book Club consult, plan, design, project manage, install, fill with pre-loved books and launch. A seamless end-to-end service.

How ABC library projects work

There are no limits, no eligibility measures, no rooms too big or too small, no minimum spend, no maximum spend. Just contact ABC Book Club to have a chat about what’s possible.

How do I get an ABC library?

Just contact us to begin the conversation. It would be good to have some idea of budget, location and timeframe but we’re happy to talk through this bit too if you are at the beginning of your journey. With over 40 unique and bespoke library builds, ABC Book Club are experts in creating libraries children want to visit.
