We need to ensure that one way or another public schools have libraries and librarians again. That's why what we do at Library Build is so important to us, and why we hope that more people see the value in what we are trying to do.

First Day of School!
Today is the first day of school for the Philadelphia School District! And while teachers are preparing lesson plans, and our students are getting back into the swing of learning, we need to remember that the vast majority of Philadelphia public schools do not have librarians, and do not have functional libraries.
It's hard to imagine learning without a great library and access to books. Of course it can be done, and great teachers every day are able to help their students learn. But we are doing a disservice to our students every day that they are not able to learn how to research, learn how to use a computer or computer software, or just read for fun.
We need to ensure that one way or another public schools have libraries and librarians again. That's why what we do at Library Build is so important to us, and why we hope that more people see the value in what we are trying to do.
