Irene -
 
Who is the Congressman or Senator who championed the school  library 
legislation?
I think we should get him in on this cause, too. He has  more direct access to 
the FCC.

Read the  beginning of this article and use the link to see the whole.  Email 
Julius  Genachowski and let him know what we do and to give school libraries the 
money  he would spend!!!
“The new  divide is such a cause of concern for the Federal Communications  
Commission that it is considering a proposal to spend $200  million to create a 
digital literacy corps. This group of hundreds, even  thousands, of trainers 
would fan out to schools and libraries to teach  productive uses of computers 
for parents, students and job seekers.”
Looks like the  FCC has no idea that our schools have a ready-made “digital 
literacy corps” in  place.
Chairman  Julius Genachowski was quoted in the article.  He recognizes the 
importance  of digital literacy, but he is ill-informed. He does not know that 
there are  already trained professionals in many schools who work, against great 
odds at  times, to train our students and who volunteer to teach parents these  
skills.
Let’s not let  him claim ignorance before spending this money.  Here's the rest 
of the  article:
