Description

School librarians prepare students to be lifelong learners in the twenty-first century. However, every school librarian needs to re-assess and update their practices in order to meet the needs of their students. This issue features articles that outline best practices in four practice areas: Building a Culture of Reading, Information & Knowledge Building, Empowering Learners and Teachers, and Preparing for Library/Librarian Evaluation.
