New: Saving school library programs for learners!

Page history last edited by PBworks 17 years, 9 months ago

Let's use this space to create a toolkit to support libraries for learners. Please share your best for the common good! Let's make this page live with more than links.

 

Sharing our stories

The Public Information Office (PIO) of The American

Library Association offers a site where

librarians can share stories. We can use those listed and share our own.

<http://www.ala.org/ala/news/libraryfunding/libraryfunding.htm>

 

Says Sara Johns, President elect of AASL:

"Nothing makes the case more strongly for decision makers than personal stories and hearing from constituents. Your library story will help bring the

facts and figures to life. Look at ALA's anecdotal database to read stories from around the country."
