...but the school board is just plain nuts. Tuesday the school board will vote on a proposal to cut all school librarians from Elementary and Middle schools. We all knew cuts were coming, we felt that some librarians would be cut, we knew that there would be no more money for books -but all the professionals? Who will teach information literacy? Who will create the procedures and policies? Who will evaluate and develop collections? Who will collaborate with teachers on thematic units and research projects? The board assures us that they will still keep libraries open - but I'm sorry, what they will keep open are rooms full of books. Increasingly old and irrelevant books. Not libraries.
