We support the following good reasons to have a school library.

1. A qualified teacher librarian and a well-resourced library increases student achievement.
2. Teacher librarians can provide access to curated information that specifically meets student and staff needs.
3. A teacher librarian works to develop a reading culture and to raise the levels of information literacy across the school.
4. School libraries provide a social space to meet, collaborate, research, learn, share, and relax.
