Why this matters
School librarians aren't a luxury — they're essential. They help students navigate misinformation, develop critical thinking skills, and build a lifelong love of reading. Research consistently shows that schools with librarians have higher academic achievement and graduation rates.
HRM's supplementary education funding pays for 98 library support specialist positions across 136 schools. Without this funding, students — especially those without access to public libraries — lose a critical resource. The public library is not a replacement: it requires a parent or guardian to bring young children, and many working families simply can't.
