We are proud to be a progressive, inclusive charity, driving change to co-create libraries of tomorrow with young people today.

We rely on generous funding that enables us to develop impactful programmes with and for children and young people. We need support to develop new initiatives, sustain our up-to-minute training, harness opportunities and overcome the challenges of today’s world.

We are an Arts Council England Investment Principles Support Organisation (IPSO).  We support public library services and schools library services across the country.

Our aspirations are growing. We can do more, with more support. If you’d like to support us to extend our impact, please get in touch with our Chief Executive at tabitha@librariesrising.org.uk to explore how we can align your values with our purpose.

Sponsorship opportunity

We’re looking for organisations to support our annual conferences.

With conference attendees representing 160 library services in every part of the country, we can offer excellent visibility for your organisation, to a diverse and engaged audience.  

You’ll also be featured on our social media accounts across LinkedIn and Bluesky, and in our newsletter, reaching and engaging hundreds of followers across the country and beyond.
