Hello,

Not sure if most of you have seen the Jan. issue of SLJ, but there is a great article that I wanted to share with you. The Gathering Storm: Librarians and allies must act to secure the future of libraries.

If you would like to be involved with the legislative work that Jenny and her group have been doing, reach out! We all need to be aware of what's happening and sometimes (most of the time) can feel completely overwhelming, but when we all do a little, it can make a big difference.

Hope you have a wonderful and  restful weekend!
Melissa
