The Case For Libraries and Librarians
Invited Paper, Submitted to the Obama-Biden Education Policy Working Group, December, 2008
Stephen Krashen
"When
I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I
can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy
itself." (Isaac Asimov, from his autobiography I Asimov)
The case for libraries is very strong.
Research
shows that better public and school libraries are related to better
reading achievement. The reason for this is obvious: Children become
better readers by reading more (Krashen, 2004), and the library is a
major source of books for children. 1
