So, if you've been feeling like this...

School libraries are no longer book warehouses and we are not just the "keepers of the books!"

What is the role of the 21st century school library media specialist???

School Libraries Work...for YOU!

Studies prove that reading test scores increase with increases in:

  • media specialist hours per 100 students
  • total staff hours per 100 students
  • print volumes per student
  • periodical subscriptions per 100 students
  • electronic reference titles per 100 students
  • library media expenditures per student

Between 2000 and 2009, similar findings have been generated by studies in 17 other states (Alaska, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin) as well as the Canadian province of Ontario. Many of these studies also present evidence that the relationships between library staffing and test performance cannot be explained away by other school or community conditions.

“When a school includes an endorsed librarian in its staffing, ... students benefit from the collaborative teaching of information problem-solving, inquiry, and critical thinking skills that the librarian and classroom teachers provide. ”

~Nance Nassar, School Library Senior Consultant, Colorado State Library
