Recenzii

”Merga (Univ. of Newcastle, Australia) provides fodder for school library practitioners and researchers alike in this detailed look at the ever-evolving role of school libraries ... Each section includes attainable objectives and action items for school library practitioners, and a full chapter addresses challenges related to school library visibility and advocacy. The book concludes with a robust section on recommendations for future research and a detailed appendix.”

"With as many as one-in-five young people experiencing mental health problems globally, this book is an important resource to help support literacy development and holistic wellbeing of students.”
—TSL, School Library Association
"Through this book, Merga translates the concept of bibliotherapy into a more substantial framework for supporting students’ physical and social needs ... Practicing school librarians will be inspired to freshly view their library spaces as safe havens for students seeking support for reading, health information, and books to help them through difficult times. Educators of school librarians will find this book to be invaluable for any discussion of reading engagement and reading for pleasure, whether for their own research or as readings for future school librarians.”
—Journal of Education for Library and Information Science
