Every student deserves access to a fully-funded school library staffed by certified school librarians. Congress can help get us there. Urge your elected officials to support legislation to ensure school library access for EVERY student: oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?…

"To consider using the library space in HISD campuses as a discipline center rather than as a site for learning and literacy demonstrates a concerning disregard for the education of HISD’s children."

Thank you @SenJackReed and @RepRaulGrijalva for supporting equitable access to effective school libraries, staffed with certified school librarians and a support staff, and curated resources so that ALL learners are digital literate, ready for the information nuances of today.

While some are seeking to ban books, my Right to Read Act w/ @RepRaulGrijalva would help ensure public school libraries nationwide are well stocked & staffed. Our pro-library bill would help more kids develop literacy skills needed to become proficient, enthusiastic readers.

Check out this quote from the @sljournal review: "Whether these projects, which are well thought out and flexible to schedule and learner needs, are used independently or collaboratively with educators, elementary librarians will benefit from this valuable resource."
