Save school libraries
Many of us remember our school libraries fondly - the heart of the school, a place to have a quiet moment with a book, work a puzzle, play a board game, or have a conversation with friends.
Sadly, this experience is no longer available to many of our students. My library is only open to students for 9 hours a week now. I share this space with the tech and music teachers. When none of us are in the room, it must be locked to prevent the music and tech materials stored there.
In order to help improve the mental health of students and staff, a school library needs to be open to all, and includes appealing up to date materials featuring complete inclusivity of all races and genders.
