• A full-time school librarian makes a critical difference in boosting student achievement– This study adds to the evidence that all K–12 students
need and deserve quality school library programs with full-time certified staff. Students are more likely to succeed when they have library programs that are well staffed, well funded, technologically well equipped, well stocked, and more accessible. And, the neediest learners may benefit the most from trained librarians and quality library programs.• Article from SLJ By Debra E. Kachel

• Paraprofessionals in school libraries– Support positions in school library media
programs vary widely. Many school systems limit clerical and support positions to part-time status lessening or avoiding full-time employee benefits. In some cases, all support personnel, non-certified positions not within central administrative offices are limited to 6 hour work-days. • Program Administration: Library

• Paraprofessionals: a dilemma – I've been struggling with this
conflict between treating non-professionals like professionals for years. First, I love my paras, clerks and others with whom I have worked. I believe there are paras who do a better job than some professional librarians I've met. And well-trained paras are better for kids than paras without training.
– I certainly understand the fears that we may be enabling the "de-professionalization" of librarians by supporting paraprofessionals doing professional tasks.• Doug Johnson, Blue Skunk Blog, Wednesday, April 6,
