2 Why are school libraries essential? Information Literacy Self-Direction Critical Thinking & Reasoning Invention Collaboration

3 Literacy Dr. Stephen Krashen: “The Case for Libraries & Librarians” Invited Paper, Submitted to the Obama-Biden Education Policy Working Group, December, 2008 Research shows that better public and school libraries are related to better reading achievement. The reason for this is obvious: Children become better readers by reading more (Krashen, 2004), and the library is a major source of books for children. Krashen, Dr. Stephen D. http://sdkrashen.com/articles/case_for_libraries/index.htmlhttp://sdkrashen.com/articles/case_for_libraries/index.html

5 Literacy Better Libraries = Better Reading Scores “Study after study has shown that library quality (number of books available or books per student) is related to reading achievement at the state, national, and international level, even when researchers control for the effects of poverty.” Lance, 1994, McQuillan, 1998, Elley, 1992, Krashen, Lee and McQuillan, 2008 Krashen, Dr. Stephen D. http://sdkrashen.com/articles/case_for_libraries/index.htmlhttp://sdkrashen.com/articles/case_for_libraries/index.html

6 Literacy “Providing access to books is necessary but is not sufficient: Not all children who have access to libraries take full advantage of them (Peck, 2000, Celano and Neuman, 2008). Keith Curry Lance's studies confirm that the presence of librarians and overall staffing contributes to reading achievement independent of other measures of library quality. The most obvious way librarians contribute is helping children find books, in addition to selecting books and other materials for the library, and collaborating with teachers.” Krashen, Dr. Stephen D. http://sdkrashen.com/articles/case_for_libraries/index.htmlhttp://sdkrashen.com/articles/case_for_libraries/index.html
