TEKS/TAKS Support

 

Numerous studies recognize the link between a strong library program and student achievement. Students perform better when libraries:

  • have qualified library media specialists who collaborate with teachers
  • have librarians who teach students information literacy skills
  • have strong collections that support the curriculum
  • provide student access during and after the school day
