    • Abstract:
      What are ways to draw attention to the need for an annual library budget? How can school library leaders advocate for equitable library budgets across a school district? These are questions the library services team of three district librarians researched before taking the first steps toward making transformational change in the Beaverton School District school libraries during the 2017-2018 school year. Using collection and circulation data to inform principals about their libraries is an integral step to advocate for increased library budgets and/or changes in library procedures.
