[CALIBK12] Library Position Cut

[Doug Achterman]

Feel free to use this one-page summary of the California study I did for my doctoral dissertation.  Test scores show that schools which support their school libraries give students a better chance to succeed, and the key to a strong school library program is staffing.

This link should take you right to the School Libraries Work PDF.  It is only 28 pages.  There is a lot of great info and statistics in this report, showing how credentialed teacher-librarians make a huge difference in the academic achievement of a school, and its students.

Hope you have a copy of School Libraries Work. If you don't, try looking
online for it. Make a copy to take with you.

If you are the only credentialed librarian in the district, you need make
a list of what you can do to help keep things running in the other schools
as a 1/2 time coordinator (helping keep aides on the right track) and 1/2
at your school. This is not good, but at least you will help keep one
credentialled librarian in the district.
