This report covers the research findings presented in "How School Librarians Help Kids Achieve Standards: The Second Colorado Study," as well as those reported in Fast Facts No. 180 from the Library Research Service, which show that CSAP reading scores increase with improvements in school library programs. Various predictors of academic achievement are reported for the school and its peers. Note that these predictors cannot be explained away by school or community differences.
