[CALIBK12] Library program model request

[Sue Beckmeyer]

I am re-posting the resources formerly compiled by Richard K. Moore in
response to a similar question a month or two ago. These publications
contain standards for effective library programs and provide references to
studies documenting the impact strong school libraries have on student
achievement.
