"Why do school libraries need money for books when everything is online?"

"Why do we need a campus library when students can do their research on the internet"

"You just check books in and out all day - why do we need a library?"

Technology has vastly changed the way information is accessed, and it has greatly enhanced library and information services. It has also raised some unsettling questions about the practicality and necessity of school libraries. Library advocates have a critical role to play in answering these questions. In schools across the country, library advocates are the voice of America's school libraries.

During this complimentary one hour webinar, learn how panelists Carl Harvey and Connie Williams have successfully advocated the success of their library programs within their schools, districts, communities and even states.
