- Association of Philadelphia School Librarians Academic benefits
of maximized school library services to students include: Access to
resources in support of the curriculum and pleasure reading.
Student inquiry is fostered; research skills are developed leading
to life- long learning. Equity of access to information. Low-income
children receive the most academic benefit from maximized school
library services. (Offenberg and Clark, 1998). Economical use of
resources. One item can be borrowed, returned, and used again.
Resources for wide ranges of readers are available from a central

- Association of Philadelphia School Librarians Word problem in
estimation If 110,000 SDP students do not have access to a
certified librarian and a maximized school library program each
year, how much are they missing? 110,000 students x minimum of 30
visits/year = 3,300,000 school library visits missed PER YEAR
(three million, three hundred thousand) Over 12 years = 39,600,000
school library visits missed (thirty-nine million, six hundred
thousand) If 2/3 of the visits resulted in one borrowed book, that
equals 2,200,000 books not borrowed per year (two million, two
hundred thousand) OR 26,400,000 books not read over 12 years
(twenty-six million, four hundred thousand) Now, thats a
PROBLEM!!!

Intelligent Investing Young Learners Need Librarians, Not Just
Google Mark Moran, 03.22.10, 03:00 PM EDT The ubiquity and ease of
Google searches could make kids' minds go soft without the ability
to critique or contextualize the answers. Before parents accept the
wisdom of a school board to cut school librarians, they should ask:
Will my child graduate with a 21st century resume, or a 19th
century transcript? Can he use collaborative technology, such as
wikis? When a search engine returns 105 million results, can the
student find the five that will set her paper apart? With the Web
evolving by the minute, can classroom teachers alone, stressed by
assessment testing and ever-growing paperwork burdens, help
students figure this all out? As the information landscape becomes
ever more complex, why does a school district want to abandon its
professional guides [certified librarians] to it?
