Preaching to the unconverted

It is always a pleasure to read a positive article about school libraries in a non-school library publication. The May 2006 issue of Scholastic Administrator magazine  has "Cutting Edge Libraries"  “Not Your Father's Library” as  one of its feature stories (p. 47). Some of our favorite librarians appear: Joyce Valenza (PA), Hazel Peterson (TX), and Janet Williams (FL). (This  issue isn't available online as of today.)

Read it. But more importantly, get your administrator to read it.

A quote: “Media specialists are essential in any school that wants to turn out research-savvy students who can identify and analyze quality information.”
