[CALIBK12] ALA election

[Jo Ellen Misakian]

I would like to add my voice to the voting issue. As a member of the ALA
2009 nominating committee, I worked hard to get school librarians to run for
Council. We really should support those who agreed to allow their names on
the ballot.

In addition to voting for our own this year, you may want to consider
allowing your name to be brought forth in the next election. I know it is
difficult for school folks to attend the ALA conference, but the number of
council meetings has been reduced. This means less days one must be at the
conference. The idea may be worth investigating. If you are at all
interested, go to http://ala.org and take a look at the opportunities to
serve your profession.

Please vote!
