School districts are making decisions NOW about what positions to cut and school librarians are vulnerable. Support from people who are not school librarians is crucial, talking to school board members and superintendents, attending budget hearings.
How could you use the new AASL "Strong Libraries build Strong Students" infographic? In an AASLForum message, Virginia school librarian Ann Crewdson said: "The infographic has style! It’s succinct and shows the importance of school librarians in a visually appealing and educational way. I’ve forwarded it to PTAs, Parent FB groups and the superintendent of public instruction in my daughter’s school district. I plan to forward it to more groups and leaders soon."
