School libraries play a crucial role in fostering academic success and a love for learning. They provide students with access to a range of resources, including books, digital materials, and research tools. Students volunteering in school libraries not only enhances students' academic skills but also cultivates critical thinking, information literacy, and a passion for reading and serving. Student workers at Ironton Middle School, under the supervision of media specialist Ashley Salmons, have been volunteering during the regular school day. Students contribute to daily operations and engage in reading aloud to younger students. This approach not only enriches academic skills but fosters a collaborative and supportive learning environment, instilling a love for literature and essential life skills.
