Here at Catholic Library Association, we feel passionately that every child in America deserves to have access to an effective school library program. We want to support the petition sponsored by Carl Harvey, president of the American Association of School Librarians, and we hope you will want to as well.
Please take a moment to sign an important White House petition to ensure that every child in America has access to an effective school library program . (You will need to create an account in order to sign the petition. The White House will then email you which will then allow you to click through. If you have difficulty, try logging out and logging back into the White House site: http://wh.gov/Wgd. Changing browsers may help, too.)
The petition needs 25,000 signatures by 2/4/12. If that goal is achieved, the White House will respond to the petition.
For our libraries and our children, please sign it yourself and pass it on to your family, friends, and professional contacts to sign.
With best wishes,
Catholic Library Association |
