Libraries are integral to student success. When schools and libraries have a strong relationship, children benefit the most. By supporting school curriculum, having a wide variety of engaging books at different levels, programs that promote reading, and good technology resources, there are numerous ways libraries can help promote the education of children. "Research has shown a positive relationship between investment in school libraries and student achievement in reading and writing." Simply having access to print materials can improve attitudes towards reading, how long and how often a child reads, and their reading performance (Bleidt, 68). In addition, when libraries are well staffed so that children can receive proper instruction in research and retrieving items, these skills can serve them well going forward in their academic and personal lives, too.
