"Tap the school library to bring a wider world to students", American Teacher, March/April 2012

In honor of School Library Month and National Library Week both occurring in April, this article serves as a reminder of what librarians can offer schools, students, teachers, and parents. I like that this article includes the role of "Collaborator" in the spirit that the library serves as the hub of a learning community.
