On June 2, a group of DC Public Schools librarians gathered outside the John A. Wilson building, where Mayor Muriel Bowser has an office, for a protest. At the “read in,” each librarian grabbed a book and read in silence. The protest had two main goals: to appeal to the DC Council to help improve the literacy rates of students by reducing class sizes and using collaborative teaching models, and to make sure every DCPS school has a full-time librarian.
