The Role of the School Library
The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) supports the position that an effective school library plays a critical role in preparing learners for life in an information-rich society. As defined by AASL, school libraries are “dynamic learning environments that bridge the gap between access and opportunity for all K–12 learners” (AASL 2016b, 1). Grounded in standards and best practice, school libraries are an integral component of the educational landscape. The school library provides access to a wide array of resources and an environment in which teaching and learning are the primary emphases. The school library provides a space and place for personalized learner success; learners are encouraged to explore questions of personal and academic relevance. Under the direction of a qualified school librarian, school libraries are instrumental in fostering literacy and teaching inquiry skills to support lifelong learning (AASL 2018, 54).
