This document discusses the role of school librarians and school library systems in supporting student achievement through the Common Core Learning Standards. It provides examples of how school librarians help students develop research, writing, speaking, and literacy skills. School librarians are shown leading activities like author visits, research projects, technology workshops, and discussions to engage students in inquiry-based learning. Studies have found that well-staffed school libraries are linked to higher test scores. New York held a library summit to develop a plan for ensuring students have access to strong school library programs.
