[CALIBK12] American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to help school libraries.

[Kathy Goodwin]

I sent this to the superintendent, assistant superintendent, and director of finance and received a thank you from the superintendent of our school district in less than an hour. Yes ... pass it on!

Calibbers may want to read about how President Obama's ARRA can help school libraries. Here's a quote from ALA President Jim Rettig, and the link to the full article is below his quote.

“It is important that library advocates and supporters make sure that school superintendants, school board members, and their governor understand the importance of using these funds to invest in our children by investing in school libraries and librarians,” Rettig said. 

Here's the link, from the ALA Washington Office:

Now would be a good time to start contacting your own superintendent, school board members, and Gov. Schwarzenegger to assure that your school district will get some of this money to support its school libraries.
