[quote=Anonymous]So speaking specifically about APS and ACPS - I have to agree with the OP. I feel the money would be better spent hiring reading teachers to remediate reading.

Both APS and. ACPS good public library systems that are within reach. And before you say something silly like parents who don’t speak English might not know about them! I suggest you visit a library in these areas mid morning for the toddler storytimes and check out how many nannie’s are there with their charges. Or visit one not in a wealthy neighborhood to see who is using the computers.

Throw in the fact that free books in these two areas are plentiful. A plea to parents can easily yield an amazing response. Then consider how many of the PPs on this thread have almost guaranteed to have purchased books for their kids in some format in the last 30 days and bragged to someone about their kids impressive reading level. They don’t need school libraries for reading material.

And research? Yeah that is so poorly taught and random that tbh they are better off taking a short virtual course and being directed to use a citation generation website.

Cutting school library funding and redeploying  the space and resources has definitely come up in the past.[/quote]
