How Libraries' Involvments lead to student success

How does library involvement lead to student success? I think there are a variety of ways libraires can contribute to student success. A few that pop in my mind is one on one access with librarians and students, online and physical access to information and materials, and programming and tutoring benefits as well. I personally feel like libraires provides extra knowledge and guidance that students wouldn't be able to get anywhere else publicly.  

A 2023 article titled, "Library Activities, Curricular Connections, and Collaborative Environments lead to Student Success", gives us a detailed insight and more information on how important libraires are for students not only to gain knowledge but provides even general life lessons because it "is one of the few places students practice making choices and exploring new pathways for creativity (24)."

Library Services for the Homeless

 In many ways, a library can be a safe haven for homeless people. Some go as the last resort to rest from the outside conditions and some go to access information they would have never been able to at any other place for free. I feel like more programs specifically for the homeless should be considered by all public libraries. Of course there are policies and free internet access in place for everyone to freely use but specific programs can be helpful for homeless people that need more guidance and knowledge when it comes to for example, job searching and resume making.  I discovered an article that tackled just what I've been saying.  Here is the link: The Problem is not the Homeless  The article, "The Problem is not the Homeless", talks about library services for homeless, model approaches, and how we can sustain programming efforts. "Vikki Terrile, coordinator of young adult services at New York's Queens Library", states " Those visits remind her tha...
