[CASL-L] Fwd: [aaslforum] Wall Street Journal opinion piece: Let Parent Volunteers Replace School Librarians

[Kathleen Smith]

​I also saw on FB in the School Librarian Workshop Group.
I think a united letter that we all sign might be effective.  What would be
the best tool?  A change.org kind of a site???  Ideas?  I would be happy to
help with the response....someone want to work with me on a Google Doc??​
