The nation’s budget crisis is having a significant impact on education, especially for public schools. In many states, schools are faced with making cuts to both staff and facilities. Among the resources at risk are school libraries and librarians. After a well-publicized sit-in at a Whittier Elementary School last autumn over the scheduled demolition of a building that parents wanted designated a school library (Dizikes, 2010), the Chicago Tribune published an expose on libraries in Chicago Public Schools. In the report, the Tribune noted that 164 public schools -nearly 1 in 4 elementary schools and 51 high schools -do not have libraries staffed by a trained librarian (AhmedUllah, 2010). While the Illinois State Board of Education requires schools to develop a program of “Library Media Services”, there is no requirement this be a library or staffed by a librarian (Ahmed-Ullah, 2010). Individual principals or school councils often make the final decision over library funding (Barack, 2009).
