23 Studies Find Positive Link Between Library Spending and Student Learning
When support for school libraries rises, reading scores go up and learning by other measures increases also. That’s what researchers at Mansfield University in Mansfield, PA found when they examined and summarized the results of 23 studies done around the United States and Canada.
“Quality school library programs impact student achievement,” says Debra E. Kachel, a professor in the School Library and Information Technologies Department at Mansfield University. “The research shows clearly that schools that support their library programs give their students a better chance to succeed.”
Kachel and a class of graduate students examined school library impact studies, most done in the last decade, by 22 states and one Canadian province (Ontario). Most examined student standardized test scores. A few used qualitative approaches. All found positive links between library support and learning. The paper, “School Library Research Summarized” was done this spring for the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association.
