30. The library is supposed to be the academic center of the school. We have come so far, but we still have a long way to go…and that is just to reach the “Acceptable” mark! There are still the goals of “Recognized” and “Exemplary” to be met so that our libraries can help our students be “Recognized” and “Exemplary”!
