Tell them:
- Students clearly show that effective school library programs help students do better academically, even when other school variables are considered.
- According to the National Center for Education Statistics, approximately 8,830 public schools in the US do not have a school library, and in schools that do have a library, 17,000 schools do not have a full or part-time state-certified school librarian on staff.
- Without the assistance provided by ESEA, students run the risk of never developing comprehensive literacy including digital literacy, knowledge and skills required for good education and work force readiness.
