Why I Am Here: A school librarian’s creed

Why I Am Here: A school librarian’s creed

I really enjoyed reading this article for my Motivating 21st Century Learning class and was completely inspired. The author, a school librarian, really exemplifies the purpose of the library. I can't believe a school superintendent would suggest to eliminate the requirement of a full time librarian in every high school; especially stating it was "antiquated." We need librarians more than ever in the information age; reading these types of statements simply shocks me because I can't believe how naive and ignorant people can be when it comes to actually knowing the purpose of the library and the role of the librarian.
