AASL National Conference is "going green"

AASL is pleased to announce that its 13th National Conference &
Exhibition in Reno, Nev., October 25 - 28, 2007, is “going green.”

“As we think about the future at the AASL Conference, we are focusing on
what our library media programs need to look like to help prepare our
students for the future,” explained Carl A. Harvey II, co-chair of the
National Conference Committee. “We also want to think about what we can
do now to help preserve the environment our students will be living in.
To that end, we found ways we can ‘go green’ for the 2007 AASL National
Conference."

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!
