  1. Visit your school library. Is there a qualified librarian available to work with students? Are the books and resources up to date? Children cannot be educated to live and work in the 21st century using resources from the 1970s. Let your principal and school board know of your concerns.

FOR YOUR CHILD'S ACHIEVEMENT 

     Across the United States and many countries, research has shown that students in schools with good school libraries learn more, get better grades, and score higher on standardized test scores than their peers in schools without libraries. There is "clear evidence of this connection between student achievement and the presence of school libraries with qualified school library media specialists."

SCHOOL LIBRARIANS HAVE A CRUCIAL  ROLE IN TEACHING

     Librarians are an important instructional partners or consultants to classroom teachers in supporting and expanding existing curriculum. They work with classroom teachers and support effective and exciting learning opportunities with books, technology and more.
