At a Lansing School Board meeting, parents expressed concerns over potential cuts to certified librarians and library access in the district. The proposal discussed would reduce the number of certified librarians from seven to five while adding 34 assistants to support literacy and library usage. While some parents appreciate increased access, many oppose the plan, arguing that only librarians can provide certain skills and expertise. Superintendent Ben Shuldiner emphasized the ongoing community dialogue and reassured that current libraries won’t be closed, with discussions ongoing about library inclusion in new school designs like at Lewton School.
