Why Libraries Matter

“There is over, ‘…50 years of research, and more than 60 studies showing that students attending schools with well-stocked libraries, staffed by a credentialed librarian do consistently better academically and have higher standardized test scores’.”

“Reading and writing scores tend to be higher for all students who have a full-time certified librarian, and when it comes to reading, students in at-risk subgroups tend to benefit more than all students combined.” (Lance & Kachel, 2018)
