38th Annual Conference. IASL: Preparing Pupils and Students for the Future - School Libraries in the Picture, 02/09/2009–04/09/2009, Abano Therme, Italy
Elementary school students in Grades 3 to 8 in eight schools that had exemplary library programs were surveyed about their perceptions of the school library program and the teacher librarian. Students reported that the teacher librarian was knowledgeable and helpful and taught them key information literacy concepts. The library program supported them in reading for pleasure. The physical space of the library was significant to them and they perceived the library as a welcoming place used for multiple activities.
