The importance of the media center to student achievement is highlighted by the Michigan Library and the Michigan Association for Media in Education in this video, just posted to YouTube.

Hooray for you, Michigan libraries, for being proactive in stating your case in this difficult economy–and on YouTube too! You’ve given libraries and their supporters a tool to use in discussing the true importance of dynamic school libraries to student achievement, which may, in the end, help save some library programs!

Are there videos such as this available from other states, I wonder?
