I subscribe to the blog Tiny Tips for Library Fun. Not only is it useful for my day-to-day work, but it also helps me stay current with developments in the library world. Marge, the librarian who writes Tiny Tips, has recently posted about a petition on the White House website that supports school libraries. Her post includes a report from Library Research Service News that shows the value of school libraries and school librarians that you can read to get yourself familiar with the topic. In short though, having a school library plus a full time, certified school librarian running it improves children's test scores. School librarians also do incredibly useful work in teaching kids digital literacy skills and critical thinking skills, which are vital to have in today's wired world.
I really hope you'll support this important cause by signing the petition and spreading the word! School libraries are so important, and every voice counts.
