“ At every level, school libraries offer a great range of resource materials that greatly enrich education and increase the knowledge and understanding of all Americans.Young people often develop a lifelong love of reading because of their exposure to books in school libraries. Furthermore, researchers are often motivated by the vast resources of university and special libraries as they dedicate themselves to studying the problems of society. School libraries and their dedicated staffs make an incalculable contribution to our educational system. ”
