Working closely with The School Library Association, Demco Interiors have proudly sponsored this exciting award since 2010. The award is made annually to the school library that shows innovation, creativity and resourcefulness in its library design. What matters is not how big the school library is, but what it has achieved with the available resources and the challenges it faces.

The award is open to any school library whatever; there is no requirement to belong to the School Library Association or to have used Demco Interiors products.
