After decades of researching how children learn to read, Krashen has come to a very simple conclusion: "When children have access to interesting and comprehensible reading material, they read. Reading for pleasure, self-selected reading, is the major cause of literacy development."

.

"Without it," Krashen said, "literacy development is impossible." If Krashen is right, then public and school libraries are a big part of the solution when they provide at-risk children with access to books and with the motivation to read for pleasure.

.

Public libraries in Oregon are already doing their part. They have plenty of books and story-time programs for parents and children of all ages, even babies. They have summer reading programs that are designed to motivate students to keep reading when school is out.

.

The Oregon State Library supports this with our Ready to Read Grant program, which funds these programs in every public library. School libraries are another story.

.

School libraries with adequate book budgets that are staffed by teacher-librarians are no longer the norm in Oregon. In 1980 we had 818 teacher-librarians working in 1,284 schools. Today we have fewer than 300 teacher-librarians working in about the same number of schools.
