Subject: [alacro-l] Stories about Advocating for School Libraries
To: alacro-l at ala.org


The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the American
Library Association (ALA) Office for Library Advocacy (OLA) seek stories
about parents and students who advocate for their school libraries. Stories
shared will help AASL and OLA spread examples of parent and/or student
advocacy to stakeholders nationally.

Stories should demonstrate how students and parents value their school
library program and the essential place it holds in developing lifelong
learning. Stories may feature parents and students who have gone to
extraordinary measures to save their school library program and their
certified school librarian. Stories may also portray parents and students
engaging in small acts of everyday advocacy in support of their school
library program.

Stories may be submitted on the AASL website at www.ala.org/aasl/stories.
The deadline for submission is April 11. AASL/OLA staff may follow-up for
further information.

The American Association of School Librarians, www.aasl.org, a division of
the American Library Association (ALA), promotes the improvement and
extension of library services in elementary and secondary schools as a
means of strengthening the total education program. Its mission is to
advocate excellence, facilitate change and develop leaders in the school
library field.

and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea."--Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
