Once again, I ask for your consideration of the following School Librarian and School Library Educators who are running for ALA Council. Since I first connected I have found out that Melissa Jacobs has withdrawn, but there are still 14 dedicated colleagues who need our help in bringing a strong school library presence to Council.
Also another reminder that AASL Past-President, Helen Adams, who is the current chair of the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee, has asked for our help in electing members who support IF and I have included their names, too.
If you have any questions about the election, council, etc. here's a link to a pdf of the 2018 Election Guide
