| contents | Students Need Libraries--In HISD and Every School District Hand, Dorcas School Libraries School Districts Librarians Library Role Advocacy Retrenchment Library Personnel Consciousness Raising Educational Change Resistance to Change School Turnaround Change Strategies Library Associations Community Involvement Principals Boards of Education Catalyst: Another newspaper article ("Ranks of School Librarians Dwindle in HISD, Statewide" in the October 7, 2013, "Houston Chronicle") detailing another decision by a Houston Independent School District (HISD) campus principal to eliminate the librarian (Mellon 2013). In response to this article, Dorcas Hand, an experienced school librarian not employed by the district, argues that these librarians are strong practitioners who are losing their jobs because a new principal has been told this will be the easiest way to balance the budget. This principal needs a better understanding! The goal? To find like minded-folks to work together and identify the root causes of the elimination of so many school librarians in HISD, and work for change. This article details each step Hand and Debbie Hall (a retired HISD librarian who also worked at the district level in the HISD Department of Library Services) took to make this change a reality including the progress they achieved, strategic directions they took, broad-based support they gained (and how), and their plans for the future.
