It’s like a horror novel, except it’s really happening. The Los Angeles Times reports that teacher-librarians are being interrogated in court to prove that they use their teaching credential. If they can’t, the district will cut their positions. Apparently, showing up with lesson plans is not enough.

I returned to school for a SECOND GRADUATE DEGREE and teacher certification, to the tune of thousands of dollars, so I could be a school library media specialist. This makes me want to cry.

With the school librarians on trial and school libraries on the verge of closure, is it any wonder that children don’t read?
