Library Lifeline

Providing fundamental library services
in schools without librarians

Students are losing their librarians

According to the SLIDE Study, there has been a 20% decline in school librarians over the last 10 years. As of 2018-2019, three in 10 school districts lack a librarian.

Strong school libraries are necessary

According to the American Library Association, over 21 state studies confirm that school libraries support students in academic achievement.

Lack of school librarians is an equity issue

Of students without a school librarian, 65% identify as non-white, while 59% are in high poverty districts. This impacts 7.5 million students nationwide.

Why Library Lifeline?

“Literacy is a gateway to upward mobility.”

Our mission is to create a vibrant library space that will inspire your students and offer them a gateway to academic and lifetime success.
Studies prove that a school library is vital to the academic success of students. We at Library Lifeline know that budget restrictions often force school administrators to make devastating cuts, which many times mean the elimination of the school librarian. But what happens to the library without a librarian to nurture and care for it?

Our team is passionate about ensuring students in all schools—especially the underfunded—have a vibrant library space.

We come to your school, assess what your library needs, and provide customized service with a cost structure that will work within your budget.
