 Dear school librarians and school library supporters:



The ALA Washington Office pursues every possible opportunity to increase
Congressional support for school libraries.



Currently, the ALA is working to boost support for Senator Jack Reed’s
upcoming reintroduction of a new Strengthening Kids’ Interest in Learning
and Libraries (SKILLS) Act.



Though the bill text has not yet been finalized, Sen. Reed continues to be
our strongest ally on Capitol Hill, and strong bipartisan support for the
SKILLS Act will increase the likelihood of securing provisions for school
libraries in future education legislation.



In the coming months, the ALA Washington Office will need your advocacy as
well as support from your community.



Please send your email address to Jessica Schneider at
jschneider at alawash.org and be on alert for calls to action from our office
throughout the summer.



Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.



Emily Sheketoff

Executive Director of ALA’s Washington Office
