Something to think about as the school year starts

Vancouver Sun Letter: Tuesday, September 02, 2008
(Province Letter: Lacking libraries)

During the first few days of school, ask your child's principal how many hours a week the school library is open and if the teacher- librarian is trained. In a province that brags about its plans for literacy, it's embarrassing how many students don't have this basic service available to them daily.
