Teacher librarians could soon be left on the funding shelf

Teacher librarians could soon be left on the funding shelf | School Libraries around the world | Scoop.it
From www.smh.com.au - October 17, 2012 3:15 AM

The library is the heart of the primary school, and it is the teacher librarian who brings it alive.

Yet a slow erosion of this position is under way and a permanent loss of such a fundamental person in our primary schools would have devastating consequences in the lives of our children. Originally a full-time position, regardless of the size the school, the days worked by teacher librarians are now dictated by the number of students.
