Many are understaffed, under-resourced or have been abandoned to use as extra space. A set of three bills in the Michigan House of Representatives is designed to fix that. John Chrastka, executive director of EveryLibrary âThe reason that weâre showing up for school librarians in Michigan is because Michigan has so very few of them right now and yet school librarians are extraordinarily effective and have a high impact for children from all different backgrounds for individualized learning," said John Chrastka who serves as the executive director of EveryLibrary. His non-profit organization works to support libraries in schools.
