I am an ex-u-46 librarian who left the year they cut the high school libraries down to one person. It makes me very sad to see the state of the program since there is only one person serving 2900 students. It is impossible to do much more than unlock the doors. My children are also in the district, and I hate the fact that they are only allowed to go to the library once every two weeks. Apparently the literacy push in the district isn't important enough to fully staff the libraries. Take a look at the Illinois Study - properly staffed libraries INCREASE reading scores! Hmmm, interesting.
