FACT SHEET: Massachusetts School Library Media Centers THE PROBLEM: Massachusetts education policy makers are not supporting the power of school library media centers to help students achieve. There is great inequity in access to quality literature, information and library professionals in schools throughout the state. Of the fifty (50) U.S. states, Massachusetts ranks: in providing its public school students with state-certified library media specialists, in teachers who agree that school library materials are adequate to support educational objectives, in providing its public schools with school libraries and in mean circulation per pupil per school of all library materials. The 1999 Simmons Study of MA School Library Media Centers found that: of Massachusetts elementary schools did not have full-time library professionals on staff, of public schools did not have a library media center, an average of $12.00 per child is spent for school library books – less than half the average cost of one hardcover children’s book. The MA Department of Education has no administrator designated to provide leadership and set standards for school library media programs statewide.

It is rather the ability to continually access and use a vast array of information sources. The learner must be able to effectively evaluate these sources, combine them in meaningful patterns and react creatively to the results. For a successfully educated individual, this mode of learning becomes a lifelong habit, since knowledge acquired today may be inadequate tomorrow, while the process of searching out answers, once learned, will be a lifetime skill. As education moves beyond the textbook and the classroom, the school library media center and its programs are essential to the educational process, providing access to a collection of skillfully selected, organized, and managed resources in all formats. With such resources, the center serves as a major channel through which the changing body of knowledge flows, thereby providing all members of the school community with the broadest possible range of information and ideas. As we approach the next millennium, the information explosion must not, however, eclipse our literary, historical, and cultural heritage. The school library media center will continue to provide programs and materials that promote a love of reading, improve listening skills, foster visual literacy, and encourage the appreciation of fine literature.
