The teacher librarians in our district are starting a school library support/advocacy group. While researching other groups on the web I noticed something. Most of the groups discuss ways to strengthen the library collection, sponsor events, etc., but they didn't talk about advocating for adequate teacher librarian staffing. Is there any information available on successful strategies that have been used to persuade administrators to restore teacher librarian positions?
