Projects include libraries working with birth registration services to offer library cards at birth and also with school library services to promote membership.
The Department for Education and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has set aside £55,000 for the projects, which are based across the UK in places such as York, Plymouth, Brighton and a number of London boroughs.
Projects include library “joining packs” being sent to primary and secondary pupils in Barnet, while in South Gloucestershire, data from secondary schools is to be combined with the Active Card database which includes the membership of library and leisure centres meaning that cards can be issued to students or their parents.
