The bill outlines essential elements of the school library, such as a collection of books and reading materials, appropriate space for students, adequate technology, and an automated library management system. The bill also mandates that every public school have a certified school librarian or library media specialist to manage and maintain the library, provide information resources, promote reading, and teach information literacy skills.
