SCHOOL LIBRARIANSHIP

Core Values in School Librarianship

Responding with Commitment and Courage
JUDI MOREILLON, EDITOR
The school library profession has been in “crisis” for more than a decade. Educational
decision-makers have not been made aware of or sold on the core values of school
librarianship and its value to students, classroom teachers, administrators, and the entire
school community. Budgetary priorities often do not include school librarians, resulting
in a lack of funding and the elimination of many positions, which can cause many school
librarians to feel vulnerable and afraid. Guideposts are needed to offer today’s school
librarians a chance to connect or reconnect with their passion for literacy, learning, and
serving that led them to the profession. May 2021, 185pp, 6 1/8x9 1/4
