District, staff rue lack of librarians in schools – Daily Republic

By Susan Winlow

Superintendent Kris Corey said Thursday night that there is a huge need in the Fairfield-Suisun School District’s libraries.

Her comment came on the heels of a presentation on the state of the district’s libraries by Amanda Carter, coordinator of instructional media center and libraries, during the regularly scheduled board meeting.

Accompanied by a handful of teacher librarians, they touched on several topics brought to light in an annual assessment and report, particularly the dearth of elementary school librarians who were eliminated during the economic downturn, leaving about 11,000 young students with no librarians.
