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!

Good (and sensible) discussion of the need for school librarians:
Lack of librarians hurt students, NYC educators say...
Meanwhile ALA issues a statement on 'core values of librarianship in the face of political threats' (link)
