The Impact of School Library Media Centers on Academic Achievement by Keith Curry Lance discusses different facets of school library media centers, and how they can have a positive effect on academic achievement. Several factors that are looked at include: collection size, staff, funding, the instructional role librarians provide, and the collaboration between librarians and teachers.

This book caught my attention because its research focuses on my area of interest: school libraries and how they effect academic achievement. I believe Lance's findings can provide insightful and practical approaches both school librarians and teachers can utilize to aid their students' academic success.
