Good Morning,

Does anyone know of or have access to any research articles that address the topic of "WHY diverse school and/or classroom libraries are VITAL?"  We all know they are, but I am looking for some research to validate that and back it up.

Also, a new article from Margaret Merga  was just released this past weekend entitled "Building a School Reading Culture: Teacher Librarians' Perceptions of enabling and constraining factors."  I attached it below because access if free via Twitter right now.  Thanks again to Laura H. for getting it to me over the weekend;) #LoveMyPLN

Thanks!!
Have a great day!
Melissa
