Subject: [CALIBK12] Library Advocacy for San Joaquin Valley

 

Dear Callibbers,

 

If you live in the San Joaquin Valley:  please read the attached flyer.


There seems to be a growing trend in the San Joaquin Valley to eliminate
school librarians.  At a recent Stockton Unified board meeting they
listed the surrounding districts that were eliminating school librarians
(TLs) which gives the district the impetus and evidence that TLs are not
necessary and therefore considered excess staff to be cut.  It is a
tsunami effect and I think we need to pull together and find a way to
stop this trend.  The dire consequences of not staffing the school
libraries with certified librarians who teach information literacy or
closing school libraries altogether would add to the literacy deficit
that already exists - the very foundation of our democracy is at stake. 

 

The Teacher Librarians in Stockton Unified would like anyone concerned
about this issue to meet on April 2 at 4:00 pm.  The attached flyer has
the details of when and where.  Please fill out the survey at this site:

We are creating a database for further contact. 

 

 

Thank you,

Debra Bohnett
