The Rhode Island Educational Media Association has taken a strong stance in hopes of us not being elimiated. All people should recognize the importance of libraries and access to them.

The meager savings to be attained by the elimination of our librarians is obviously not worth it.

They are the lifeblood of the library. Who will teach the children how to get the most from printed material? How to navigate the shelves? Should experts of info go the way of knowledgable sales clerks? Should children get use to dealing with people who are not qualified to represent the products or services they are peddling? Spare th librarians from the budget cut backs. Enough already.

Moreover, we must demonstrate our commitment to their reading; much of learning comes from emulation...readers will evolve in a society where reading is important.

And why not eliminate raises for all the overpaid administrators? We hear about how much the teachers want, we never hear about how much the administrators get. These are MY tax dollars...and we're talking about the future of the city where I live. I want the best, not the worst.

]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 10:29:19 UTC 2689458 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2689443?utm_medium=rss A decision to cut librarians from the school system would have devastating effects. I see first hand what a librarian does- I spend an hour every day volunteering for my sons class(grade 1) and I see how well the librarian knows each and every child at the school (200+ kids) and what level of book they should be reading- far more that their parents know. Without this guidance and special attention we will have a lower quality of student=lower quality adult.

]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:24:45 UTC 2687907 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2687713?utm_medium=rss Librarians are vital to maintaining high quality schools.

]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 12:32:14 UTC 2687713 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2687352?utm_medium=rss Trained librarians are essential, ESPECIALLY at the elementary school levels. They help children learn to research and to use the library services and systems. There is no way a good librarian can be replaced by a clerk who just checks books in and out. And in the current computer-era, technological library services are also essential. KEEP THE LIBRARIANS.

Our librarian sucessfully fosters a love of reading in all the children with excellent and well-managed programming.
