[aisle] Are there still middle school libraries?

[Donna Brockmeyer]

One school in my district has about 300 students in grades 5-8. The ELA
teachers at each grade level bring the kids once a week. I don’t always
feel appreciated but I firmly believe there would be mutiny if the library
was eliminated. We also have a part of the school district which is NOT
included in a library district so those kids don’t have a free option.
