"Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk."
—Carla Hayden
The Library Services program provides leadership and support for library staff - both certified school librarians and library paraprofessionals - to meet district and campus instructional and programming goals. The key components of the package include face-to-face training, online support, nationally recognized speakers, program reviews, networking opportunities, and customized consultations. The package can benefit districts and public libraries that do not have library directors or lead librarians by assisting with tailored services for their diverse needs.
