Support School Libraries-Sign the Petition Now!

From Carl A. Harvey II , AASL ( American Association of School Librarians) President

Dear Friends -

I am writing to you today to share that this morning I have posted a new White House petition about requesting funding and recognition for school libraries in the re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. It is easy to sign the petition. You will need to create an account (if you don’t already have one) to be able to sign the petition.
The URL for the petition is:
http://wh.gov/Wgd
We have until Feb. 4th to 25,000 signatures in order to get a reply from the White House. I appreciate your support of school libraries.
Thank you,
Carl
