Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to present the School Libraries Network Program of the Ministry of Education and its strategy concerning the creation and the implementation of a National Strategic Framework for School Libraries: 2014-2020. According to “Europe Strategic 2020”, the School Libraries Network Program (SLNP) conceived an action plan to align with and contribute to the European goals for education. To respond to the current challenges, due to the digital revolution and the way we deal with information and acquire knowledge, the educational systems need, more than ever of strong school libraries, able to teach and support students achieving a good educational attainment and the skills essential to the future. With this professional paper we propose to underline the need of new managing tools and a new strategic thinking and discuss how this standards framework can
contribute to the progress of the school libraries in a rapidly changing world, a world much more demanding and much more focused on results, that have an impact on students’ achievement and make a difference in their lives.
