With school libraries continually under staffed, under utilized, and under valued by everyone from school administrators to school board trustees to senior administration and even government busybodies it’s no wonder that CILIP (and other library advocates) has put out a position paper of sorts; the right for every student in every school to have access to a professionally staffed.
The British Columbia Teacher-Librarians’ Association is in complete support of the CILIP position paper. Check out the BCTLA’s position papers on leveling books and school library programs.
