As the 2020-2021 school year gets under way AASL is collecting data from school
librarians across the country to gauge the status of teaching, school library

first back-to-school snapshot survey opened August 5 and closed August 12. There
were 1,117 respondents, representing all 50 states. Building-level school librarians
(83%), district supervisors (12%), and educators of school librarians (university/college)
(4%) all participated. Building- and district-level respondents represent public
schools (89%), private/independent schools (10%), and public charter schools (1%).
District-level respondents represented more than 1.3 million students, building-level
school librarians represented more than 565,000 students, and educators represented more than 2,000 graduate students.</p>
