We need your help - ALL LIBRARIANS AND LIBRARY ADVOCATES - to ensure the inclusion of the Strengthening Kids' Interest in Learning and Libraries
(SKILLs) Act in the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act(NCLB).
This is the single most important piece of legislation concerning school
libraries that will come before Congress this year.
On September 24, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on
Education and Labor will be considering reauthorization of the NCLB. In
order for the SKILLs Act to be included in NCLB - that is, to place a
highly qualified school library media specialist in every school - each
member of the House must co-sponsor the SKILLS Act.
Please contact your Nebraska House of Representative member and tell them to support this very important legislation!
