SCHOOL LIBRARY SERVICES
|
Library leadership and advocacy require constant assessment of current facilities, services, programs, curricula and staffing patterns to be sure a library is offering the best of everything to further student success. At the same time, libraries are frequently short staffed and the level of awareness that goes beyond the day-to-day management gets lost in trying to make each day work well for students and teachers. When the time comes to re-examine the overall program and facilities, the policies and documentation, job descriptions and collection currency, it may be time to hire a consultant to support a comprehensive review.
