SCHOOL LIBRARY LEGISLATION ZOOM



ACT4SL (Act for School Libraries/Act for Student Learning), a, open
grassroots group of school librarians, is pleased to announce its upcoming
virtual event.  Join us on Monday, February 24, from 7-8 p.m EASTERN. The
session, "Just WHAT Can We Do: Gotta Love School Library Legislation"
features three panelists: Meera Garud (Hawaii), Harry Brake (Delaware), and
Jenny Lussier (Connecticut) who will walk us through each of their school
library association's efforts to bring about local legislative action for
student learning and access.



Here is the Zoom link: http://tinyurl.com/Act4SLFeb25



What legislation is happening in your state? ACT4SL has created a form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgx35BikWyypfKiLO9FrqrXGxH1bOXR_OfZOJaH2jMyXweDQ/viewform?pli=1>
for
you to complete, helping us document the positive school library
legislation happening in the U.S.  We'd love to hear from you.



In addition, EveryLibrary is also charting Library Legislation of Concern (
https://www.everylibrary.org/billtracking) and Pro-Library Legislation (
https://www.everylibrary.org/positivebills).
