[CASL-L] URGENT-MONDAY! Media Lit @ Dig Cit Bill in CT-share your testimony!

[Kathleen Smith]

Hello!

I know this is last minute but I just heard about this CT bill that is
scheduled for hearing for March 6 at 11am.  I am hoping some of you have
time this weekend to submit your thoughts and the critical role of  school
librarians play teaching these very important skills.   Even something
short and sweet so they hear our voice would be great!

Link to more information is here and how to submit your written testimony
is here:

THANK YOU!
