While librarians working in schools are generally perceived as peripheral to the educational experience, they can in fact provide significant support in encouraging children?s literacy and literature learning. As the need for strong functional literacy becomes ever more important, librarians who support literacy are often invaluable in achieving various academic, vocational and social goals. However, this contribution often seems to be overlooked, with funding cuts disproportionately affecting librarians. Building on recent research from Australia, the USA and the UK, the author examines the role that librarians may play as literacy educators in schools in order to make visible their contributions to the school community. In doing so, this book urges for greater recognition and support to school libraries and their staff as valuable members of the school community. 606 $aLiteracy 606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aLearning 606 $aInstruction 606 $aSchools 606 $aLiteracy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O40000 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aLearning & Instruction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O22000 606 $aSchools and Schooling$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O52000 615 0$aLiteracy. 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aLearning. 615 0$aInstruction. 615 0$aSchools. 615 14$aLiteracy. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aLearning & Instruction. 615 24$aSchools and Schooling. 676 $a374.0124 700 $aMerga$b Margaret Kristin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058951 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337758003321 996 $aLibrarians in Schools as Literacy Educators$92503302 997 $aUNINA
