School Library Materials

“The student has his Rome, his Florence, his whole glowing Italy, within the four walls of his library. He has in his books the ruins of an antique world and the glories of a modern one.”

— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Per the American Library Association, Americans spend seven times as much on home video games ($7 billion) as they do on school library materials for their children ($1 billion).
