A new report from the Alliance for Excellent Education explains the key role that school librarians and libraries should play in efforts to transition to digital learning. The report, Leading In and Beyond the Library, calls for district and school leaders, policymakers, and boards of education to support, encourage, and fund the evolving role of librarians and libraries as facilitators of content creation, personalized learning, and professional development.
Leading In and Beyond the Library includes recommendations for how district and school leaders, policymakers, and school librarians can ensure that the knowledge and skills of school librarians and the opportunities available in the library are maximized during the digital learning transition.
