U-46 bring our librarians back full time!

Districts all over are looking for ways to save money, and districts all over think that cutting librarians is the way to do it. It may look good on paper, but in the long run you are creating a generation of children poorly equiped to disseminate all the information that will bombard them by the time they are 18. Most librarians are highly-skilled and educated professionals (I am a certified school library media specialist with a Masters in Library Science AND a K-9 teacher certification) who know how to connect children to quality literature and how to turn them on to reading. We help navigate your children through the sludge on the internet (and NO, U-46 administrators, Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source) and show them what is good, and safe, for them to use. We ARE essential. Try cutting an administrator or two, or your travel stipend, Dr. Torres. Stop hurting our children! Bring back our library staff!!!
