SunTimes Article on Lack of Librarians at Chicago Public Schools

Surprising and not-to-mention disturbing article about the lack of librarians in the Chicago Public School system: 'CTU Pushes for Libraries, Librarians in Every CPS School'. We get the count in the subtitle: '... just 107 librarians for more than 500 schools'.

Lemme do some math: So we're talking about almost four fifths of Chicago's public schools without access to research help? Disturbing!

P.S. Of course we all know it's called 'UIC' (for the past 30 yrs or more)...

P.P.S. It was during classes when I was there today so not too many people out in the Quad...
