LIRE Lunch & Learn | June 12 | Hybrid Write-In: Standing Up for School Librarians
The fight for certified school librarians is happening right now. When Evanston/Skokie School District 65 recently moved to "reallocate" its middle school librarians, advocates flooded school board meetings and pushed back. Community pressure worked, but the threat to certified school library positions isn't over, and it isn't unique to Evanston.
Join us for a hybrid Lunch & Learn where we'll brainstorm and draft as many public letters and comments as possible for librarians and advocates to deliver at school board meetings across the region. Finished comments will be posted on the LIRE website for anyone to use and adapt.
[June 12, 2:00-4:00, Rockford University, Zoom link] Hosted by LIRE in solidarity with AISLE and certified school librarians everywhere.
