Why School Libraries Matter

School libraries...

• Foster early literacy development
• Teach children to love books and reading from an early age
• Help teachers to teach and students to learn
• Encourage children to become lifelong learners
• Provide access to diverse sources of information
• Aid in the process of exploring new ideas and making decisions independently
• Allow children to develop and explore their own personal interests free from judgement
• Help boost student achievement and literacy skills
• Act as a common space for the community at large to come together

These are just a FEW of the reasons that Meyer is so excited to have a beautiful library space!
