School Libraries play a vital role in supporting teaching and learning within the educational environment. They serve as hubs for knowledge exploration and creation, information fluency instruction, literacy promotion, technology integration, and creating a conducive learning environment. By collaborating with other educators, school librarians foster information fluency, facilitate access to a wide range of resources, and contribute to the overall academic success and personal growth of all learners.
School libraries foster learning, empowerment, and achievement for all students and nurture a culture of shared foundational values. - New York State Educational Department School Library Program Rubric, Fall 2020
