Having access to a full-time,
certified school librarian means better outcomes for Pennsylvania’s public
school students, according to a new study. The researchers examined the 2010-11 Pennsylvania System of School Assessment
(PSSA) tests in Reading and Writing for students in grades three through 11,
and tracked outcomes for students based on five school library factors:
staffing, collections, digital resources and technology infrastructure, library
access, and funding. Overall, the greatest impact on student test scores was seen from having a
full-time, certified librarian.
