[Melissa Thom]

Kathy Lester, the next President for AASL, posted this on ALA Connect
today! Not sure if anyone has already seen it, but it is awesome that ILA
is sharing info/support for School Librarians.

Please share this with all stakeholders:)

Have a great week,
Melissa

I wanted to share that the International Literacy Association (ILA) released
<https://twitter.com/ILAToday/status/1511798927330271234> a new Literacy
Brief earlier this month: Literacy Leadership Brief: The Essential
Leadership of School Librarians.
<https://www.literacyworldwide.org/docs/default-source/where-we-stand/the-essential-leadership-of-school-librarians.pdf>
It is great to see strong support for the leadership role of school
librarians from this well respected literacy organization.
