Extractions: This project was funded by an LSTA grant titled The Public Library's Role in Student Success: a Planning Grant to Determine Best Practices for Multnomah County Library. For one year (January 2001-January 2002), two Multnomah County librarians conducted research, interviews, focus groups and surveys in an effort to identify the most effective strategies for the public library in supporting the academic success of students attending the eight public school districts in Multnomah County. This is a copy of the blank survey we sent out to every school library in all eight public school districts. All the information from the surveys is entered into the database we created for this project, but has yet to be analyzed. We plan to use this information to correlate data on school libraries and student achievement, library budget, collection, staffing, etc.

Extractions: Independent reading has been identified as one of the major sources of building reading and writing fluency. Avid readers typically engage in twenty times more independent reading than do less frequent readers. Children who are avid readers come from homes in which reading and library visits are encouraged by the family members (Becoming a Nation of Readers, Anderson et al, 1985). Independent reading and shared book experiences have been shown to have a profound effect on students studying English as a second language in areas of comprehension oral language, and writing as well. (The Power of Reading: Insights from the Research, Krashen, 1993.) Krashen further reports studies indicating that children who engage in free voluntary reading exhibit more mature writing styles and fluency. Children who are avid readers also come from schools in which teachers and professional library specialists promote programs that build a love of reading and allow regular student access to adequate library collections of print and non-print materials. Haunting statistics inform us that nationwide, over 15% of the public schools have no libraries. Yet, studies such as The Impact of School Library Media Centers on Academic Achievement show a strong positive correlation between library media programs and student achievement (Lance et al, 1993).

Apply Now! Director: Maria Pacino, Ed.D. Email: mpacino@apu.edu The Library Media Teacher (LMT) Credential Program at Azusa Pacific University is a cutting-edge program which prepares candidates for the specialized and comprehensive role of school librarianship in California's pluralistic schools and communities. The program prepares library media teachers as educational leaders who are experts in technology, literacy, and diversity. Recent changes in California public education, such as the 1998 California Public School Library Act, focus on literacy, multiculturalism, and technology. Interest in school library media centers has resurfaced along with the need for qualified library media teachers who will organize information, support school curriculum, help develop literacy programs, and assist in technology management. Consequently, there is a high demand for librarians throughout the state. The Library Media Teacher Credential Program at Azusa Pacific University has been approved by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC), and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). This innovative program is offered online, except for a one-week summer institute which provides for a face-to-face teaching and learning experience.

Extractions: Recognizing that children of the Chula Vista Elementary School District are presently benefiting from AB 862, the California Public School Library Act of 1998, the continuing need for additional reading materials to support and extend the subjects taught in the classroom is at an all-time high. Classroom teachers have long supported classroom libraries through their own funding for such materials. The State of California has enacted AB 1115/CH 78/99 Section 19 better known as the California Classroom Library Materials Act of 1999 to expand classroom libraries. Teachers of the Chula Vista Elementary School District have long supported classroom libraries with personal purchases of literature books for their respective classrooms. Therefore, the influx of funding for books in grades K-4 is a welcome addition to replace worn or outdated materials with current up-to-date, relevant, and appealing books for the classroom. Each school will continue to receive funding to provide approximately 20 books per classroom based on their October 2000 CBEDS pupil count. Each K-4 teacher will take it upon himself or herself to evaluate their classroom collections and remove those books that are worn or outdated. Goals

Extractions: Do Teenagers Like to Read? A Comment on Literacy Campaigns Stephen Krashen Organizers and directors of literacy campaigns typically assume that many children, especially adolescents and teenagers, need to be encouraged to read. Not so. The results of surveys, some of which were conducted by the literacy campaigns themselves, clearly show that most adolescents and teenagers already like to read. I review here the results of three polls, two very recent and one done over a decade ago: The Mellon poll (Mellon, 1987) was given to 362 ninth graders in two rural high schools in North Carolina. Mellon reported that in these schools, one third to one half of the families were below the poverty level. The SmartGirl poll (SmartGirl Internette, Inc. 1999) was administered on the SmartGirl website (SmartGirl.com) in cooperation with the Young Adult Library Services Association, and was taken by 3,072 teenagers, ages 11-18, between October 2nd and 25th, 1999 (1826 girls and 1246 boys). It was, apparently, an elite group; only 2% said their grades were below average (another 8% would not answer the question) and only 6% said they were "below average" readers, with another 3% not answering this question. The READ California poll was done by a professional polling company, California Opinion Research (Fairbanks, Maaslin, Maullin and Associates). They surveyed 201 subjects between ages 10 and 17, 48% male, 52% female, mostly in the southern California area. Ninty two percent said they attended public school. READ California is a public relations effort sponsored by the Department of Education of the State of California aimed at encouraging reading. The results of the survey were reported on September 23, 1999.
