[Irene Kwidzinski]

You have probably read Valerie's articles on Library Commons, seen her facility video on the CASL Ning, or actually visited her Learning Commons in Chelmsford MA. Please show your support by Liking her FB page. I did.

> Dear Colleagues,
> MSLA Past-President Valerie Diggs, a nationally recognized leader in the school library profession, was informed on Monday that she was being let go from her position as Department Head of Libraries and High School Librarian in the Chelmsford Public Schools due to a severe budge shortfall. Two other department heads were also let go. The manner in which this action was taken is a clear violation of contractual language and the MTA is already working to support these individuals. NEASC has also been informed.
> 
> A Facebook page, Support Val Diggs, has been set up with a full explanation of the situation and a call to action. I urge you to Like the page and to share it on your own timeline to help ensure that this situation is widely publicized. https://www.facebook.com/supportvaldiggs
> 
> We at MSLA are appalled by this situation and will be adding our voices to the others who are protesting this action. Thank you for your support of our colleague, mentor and friend.
