Powerful Libraries Make Powerful Learners
The Study of Illinois School Libraries
The findings of a major study were released, showing how student achievement is positively impacted by Illinois School Libraries. The study, commissioned by the Illinois School Library Media Association and carried out by Keith Curry Lance of the Library Research Service in Denver, Colorado, demonstrated that “reading, writing, and ACT scores rise when students have larger, more current book collections and computers connected to library databases and catalogs.” Lance’s report sampled 657 Illinois schools, comparing standardized test scores with the presence of school libraries and school librarians.
