Illinois school librarians can make huge impacts on student performance, and we want everyone to know it! That's why we're partnering with WSIU Public Television to run sponsorship spots celebrating school librarians! Homeschool families, low-income families, and lots of other children and their parents will regularly see it on the PBS Kids 24/7 digital channel, aired by WSIU, WUSI, WSEC, WMEC, WQEC — that's most of central and southern Illinois! Check out the video here. Please note: the video was updated by PBS, and the final video will be shared here when it becomes available to IHLS.
