Overview
There is a strong correlation between student achievement and access to a library. Studies have shown that students who have access to a well-resourced library have higher reading and academic achievement. Some common methods to measure the value and contributions of the library include, student surveys, Teacher surveys, Usage data, Program evaluation, and Cost-benefit analysis. The best way to measure the value of a library will vary depending on the specific school and its goals. However, learn by using a variety of methods, schools can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact that their library is having on student learning.
