And they are a public place. <br /> <br />"If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our Library." <br />—John F. Kennedy <br /> <br />However back to the original question: Does the public library endanger the students in the school? Having the public library in the school building sharing the same space with the school library does not match the security standards of the rest of the school. We do live in a safe community but to make the school safer, it makes sense to have the library space follow the same standards of limiting entrance into the building. <br /> <br />Do the ideas in public libraries endanger our students in the school? School libraries are about supporting the school curriculum and teaching students the basics of searching, and evaluating source materials. The school acts as a guardian of the children while they are in the school, thus the mandate to keep them safe. Having the public library in the same area is very simply a conflict of missions. <br /> <br />What can be done? The public library is making plans to move out of the space. The school library will immediately improve without a penny being spent in that the library space can then be made to match the same security standards of the rest of the school. The students then can access the space and not be escorted into protected areas of the library. They can freely search materials under the guidance of teachers and the school librarian. Group projects can take place in the main library and not be worried about making too much noise. Many studies exist the support the fact that a high quality school library supports high achievement in students. <br /> <br />What can be done is support the public library's plan to move out. <br />Kirstie Venanzi</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-6103</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun, Mar 10 2013, 3:23 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Library and School Security</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Does the library endanger our kids and if so what can be done about it?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
