Libraries and Student Success- Charles Canizales

 Public libraries, school libraries, and academic libraries have always been part of insuring student success. Libraries provide resources, spaces, and services that positively impact a students academic achievements. Some of the resources that a library provides are textbooks, library books, computers, and research databases. Students are also able to take advantage of the physical space and use study rooms, conference halls, and the resources provided such as presentation tools. Libraries also offer students research lessons and assistance with their investigations , as well as tutoring support and technology  instructions. Libraries also play a big part when it comes to literacy development and reading programs. This contributes to students overall educational success and progress. Many libraries also play a role when it comes to STEAM programs and offer a variety of educational resources and tools. In more specialized academic libraries students can find specific materials and resources relevant to their careers and needs. For example in a law school or medical library, students will be able to find information specialized to their field. Specialized libraries also have library staff that will be more knowledgeable in that field and can be of better help. Overall libraries are instrumental and have a huge role in students success and educational development.
