Advocating for Federal School Library Legislation [webinar announcement]

March 16, 2011 ( No Comments )

The current federal budget environment offers challenges – and, believe it
or not, opportunities – for school librarians. You may have heard about the
many proposed cuts to school library programs as well as the upcoming ESEA
reauthorization (also known as the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind).
At the same time, members of Congress and their staff are looking for
positive stories from their district, particularly on education and economic
issues. Fortunately, school librarians have a tremendous opportunity to tell
a story that will matter to legislators. The role you play in preparing
America’s youth for 21st century jobs, promoting quality of life and
economic development and improving literacy in communities around the
country must be understood. Attend this webinar to understand how you can
get legislators to listen up and, more important, agree with you on school
library policy and funding issues.
