There is a story in American Libraries about a grassroots effort in Washington State to support school libraries. It's a"grassroots movement launched last spring by three Spokane women whose determination to strengthen school libraries statewide began by combating their school board's decision to close part of a $10.8-million deficit by halving the hours of the 10 full-time K-8 teacher-librarians still employed by Washington's second-largest district." The women contacted the AASL staff who have been assisting them with information. This is the kind of vital support from parents that needs to happen. These parents get it! They understand that libraries are important and that our children need school libraries and library media specialists. I urge all of you to read the article.
