Library Specialist Program

NO Library Specialists? 

It is hard to imagine our schools without Library Specialists. Our school libraries cannot be open without them. Let's take a closer look at what a Library Specialist does for our children and what we have lost. 

A Librarian Specialist manages the school's collection of books, including:

• Checking out books to students and teachers 
• Buying new books to fulfill the collection 
• Organizing the library 
• Tracking and managing outgoing and incoming books 
• Teaches our children how a library is organized and how to find information--this is a lifelong skill! 
• Instills the love of books by reading to our children, by teaching them about authors and illustrators, and by making reading fun! 
• Supports school curriculum by tying it to the reading programs
• Assists with student research projects
• Arranges authors to visit with our children, to inspire writing and reading and to show that authors are real people and an attainable profession
• Organizes Book Fairs, which also generate free books for our libraries
• Works on the Accelerated Reader Program--This guided reading program matches kids to appropriate books to increase reading proficiency. 

Without our Library Specialists...

• Our schools' fine collection of books will start to deteriorate, become disorganized and outdated, and eventually be lost
• We need our Library Specialists to act as teacher of the library system, inspirer of reading and writing, assignment advisor and director, and educator to our children
