Why a school library program?�

• Reading and literacy are fundamental to learner success in life
• Equitable access to resources crosses the digital information divide
• Resource sharing is efficient in times of tight budgets
• Successful programs need to be guided by a professional teacher librarian, trained to be an educational leader, information specialist, instructional partner, and program administrator
