Hello School Library Advocates,

We are very close to finally getting language in the reauthorization of ESEA that supports effective school library programs. However, we need every librarian, along with their colleagues, friends, and family, to do one simple thing---

Use the ALA-prepared, automated form to send an email, tweet, and/or call to their US Congressmen and women to reauthorize ESEA with the school library provisions that were unanimously adopted by the Senate education committee under S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act.

Seriously, this takes only a minute or two of your time and is critically important to school libraries across the nation. Do it and then forward the email to everyone you know!

1. Go to http://www.districtdispatch.org/2015/09/momentum-we-have-it/

2. Within the message, click on Contact your Senators and Representative .

3. Using the arrows, select “Make a Call,” “Send a Tweet” and/or “Send a Letter” (actually this is an email). Or do all three (one at a time)!

4. Fill in the form with your contact info.

5. Click “Submit.” Both your Senators and your Representative are automatically notified!!

This couldn’t be easier and we need lots of support! Share this email widely!!
