Music is part of a well-rounded education essential for a stu- dent's social and emotional well-being and provides an outlet for creativity that is crucial to a child's development. Research studies have produced clear evidence that school library programs staffed by qualified school librarians have a positive impact on student academic achievement. Librarians provide a safe haven for all studens to think, create, share and grow. They help build strong students and lifelong readers.
