"I like to read in the morning, at lunch, even when I'm on the safety patrol," said Adrian, who had the highest FCAT reading scores in his class last year This is the same child who barely made it through second grade and was retained in the third grade because of his poor reading and math skills. "I didn't read much in the first grade. Books were harder then," he said. "Teachers told me reading can take me to a lot of places, and so I started reading." New research to be presented to Florida educators later this month shows part of the reason Adrian and other students are reading better: the school library. Donna Baumbach, a professor at the University of Central Florida, analyzed more than 1,700 media centers at Florida schools. She found that well-staffed, well-stocked libraries drive up elementary reading scores by 9 percent, middle-school scores by 3 percent and high-school scores by 22 percent.

10. Selection Of Materials In the past several years, there have been a number of censorship cases involving Florida school media centers. Basic selection tools for books (the list is not complete but http://www.sbac.edu/~media/selection.html

SELECTION OF MATERIALS There are two key words used in the selection process: evaluation and selection. Evaluation is judging the intrinsic merits of materials and selection is determining whether the materials meet the needs of the intended users. Chapter 233.43 of the Florida Statutes states that "such policies shall also provide for an evaluation of any instructional materials to be requisitioned that have not been previously in the schools of the district." Chapter 233.165 states: "(1) In the selection of textbooks, library books, and other reading material used in the public school system, the standards used to determine the propriety of the material shall include: (a) The age of the children who normally could be expected to have access to the material. (b) The educational purpose to be served by the material. (c) The degree to which the material would be supplemented and explained by mature classroom instruction as part of a normal classroom instructional program. (2) No books or other material containing hard-core pornography or otherwise prohibited by s. 847.012 shall be used in the public school system of the State of Florida."
