SHOCKING! AMAZING!
What the research says about libraries.

"In Pennsylvania schools with certified
librarians,test scores in grades 5, 8, &
11 increased by 4%, 5%, and 8%
respectively."
School Library Journal , May 2000 .

" In research done in 9 states and over
3300 schools since 1999, the positive
impact of school libraries and school
library media programs is consistent.
Librarians and library media programs
make a difference in academic
achievement ." Bouchard, David. 2003.

"In schools with well-stocked, well
equipped school libraries, managed by
qualified and motivated professional
teacher-librarians, working with support
staff, one can expect capable and avid
readers, learners who are information
literate and, teachers who are partnering
with the teacher-librarian to create high
quality learning experiences. And
when these things happen , scores are
10-20% higher than in schools
without these investments. "
(Lance & Loertscher, 2003).
