Study Shows Link Between School Librarians and Higher Test Scores

The members of the South Carolina Association of School Librarians (SCASL) have always known how important school librarians and library programs are to student achievement in their state; however, they needed a way to prove it to administrators, teachers, parents, and legislators who were yet to be convinced.

The findings from this study provide evidence that South Carolina’s school librarians and school library programs make a difference in student achievement. Further, these findings are consistent with previous studies revealing associations between the academic performance of students and a variety of school library characteristics.
