<p>The White House recently responded to a petition that was sent to President 
Obama earlier this year via the “We the People” section of the White House’s 
website.    This petition, which to date has gained 28,619 signatures, stated 
the importance that an effective school library program plays in the education 
of a child and how it is necessary for school libraries to be included in an 
ESEA reauthorization bill.   To view this petition, along with the response from 
the White House, please click <a title="here" href="https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/#!/petition/ensure-every-child-america-has-access-effective-school-library-program/tmlbRqfF?utm_source=wethepeople&utm_medium=response&utm_campaign=libraries">here</a>.</p>
