Yesterday was World Education Support Personnel Day, organised by Education International.<\/p>\n
This makes the key point that effective schools and learning are about the whole range of people involved in education \u2013 teachers, nurses, support staff, and of course, librarians! See our blog<\/a> on this for more.<\/p>\n Of course, libraries are already strongly focused on education \u2013 a large share of the stories on our Library Map of the World are indeed about SDG4 \u2013 Quality Education.<\/p>\n Through literacy, providing opportunities for informal and non-formal learning, and putting people in touch with learning opportunities, libraries are a key part of the wider education infrastructure.<\/p>\n And of course, many librarians are formally recognised as educators too!<\/p>\n However, there is maximum impact \u2013 both in delivery and in advocacy, when there is partnership with teachers and other educators.<\/p>\n So for our 90th<\/sup> 10-Minute International Librarian, explain how educators benefit from libraries.<\/p>\n Think about what you do that makes teachers\u2019 lives easier, or helps them to achieve their goals more effectively?<\/p>\n Is it through providing materials or skills, offering insights and advice, or simply complementing classrooms with a quiet space for study?<\/p>\n These arguments can be powerful when looking to convince decision-makers that schools and universities cannot do without libraries (within their walls or beyond!), and in winning the support of teaching staff.<\/p>\n Let us know which arguments you think are strongest in the comments below.<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This idea relates to the\u00a0IFLA Strategy<\/a>! <\/strong>Key Initiative 1.1: Show the power of libraries in delivering the Sustainable Development Goals<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n As we publish more ideas, you will be able to view these using the\u00a0#10MinuteInternationalLibrarian<\/a>\u00a0tag on this blog, and of course on IFLA\u2019s\u00a0Ideas Store<\/a>!
