While we all would like to devote all our energy to our jobs of being better school librarians and improving our libraries, many of us are faced with serious threats to funding for our positions and our libraries that require our focus. There are a number of forums out there for posting good ideas for advocacy for school libraries, but I thought it would be good to set up a place for discussion and for storing good ideas that we can all draw on for advocacy. Please use this space to discuss advocacy and to post letters, speech texts, videos, and anything you can think of that might give others help others to be proactive in advocating for our positions and our libraries.

Comment by Janethelibrarian on February 21, 2009 at 7:59pm: CSLA (California School Library Association) has set up a wiki on which people can share tools, their stories, and ideas for fighting the budget cuts facing so many teacher librarians in California this spring. The organization has also prepared a great toolkit document on Responding to a
March 15 Notice with excellent tips for anyone facing potential cuts to school library positions.
