<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s a chance to chime in on the importance of school libraries. The Oregon Department of Education is surveying Oregonians on its response to the Every Students Succeeds Act. The OLA/OASL/ACRL Task Force on the ESSA has developed
suggestions for some of the questions on the survey. These are available on the OLA website at <a href="http://www.olaweb.org/oregon-school-libraries-and-the-every-student-succeeds-act">http://www.olaweb.org/oregon-school-libraries-and-the-every-student-succeeds-act</a><span style="color:blue">

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the questions are a bit challenging for those of us not immersed in the K-12 community. But, reminding ODE of the importance of school libraries and teacher librarians is something we can all get behind. The survey closes
<b>January 16,</b> so please act now. Take the survey here - <a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=399">http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=399</a><o:p></o:p></p>
