The important role of school librarians

Four junior high librarians write in the Oct. 27 Petaluma (Calif.) Argus Courier in support of Measure K, which asks for a $50 annual parcel tax for four years “to keep school libraries open, restore smaller class sizes grades 7-12, restore and maintain computer and technology programs, maintain music and fine art programs, and provide necessary educational programs and materials to the extent funds are available.” Susan Thompson, Connie Williams, Nancy Sieck, and Karen Andresen explain the important role of school librarians.
