Dear ChiSchoolLibrarians: Thank you for advocating for a full-time teacher-librarian on every campus. Thank you for reminding people that school libraries should never be viewed as optional. Thank you for tattooing light on your students' hearts. I respect and stand beside you.

“This contract had a lot of really big wins for our students, but it’s not going to help the lack of librarians in our school system.” #SaveSchoolLibrarians #FundLibraries American Libraries americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2019/11/08/cps…

A reality that we need our national associations to more clearly recognize & help us to fight against: “More often than not, once a librarian is removed, so is a library.” #SaveSchoolLibrarians #CPSNeedsLibrarians Chicago Teachers Union ChiSchoolLibrarians #AASL19 ctulocal1.org/chicago-union-…

The CTU contract vote may be over, but the fight continues to connect CPS students with the best education, including librarians. #cpsneedslibrarians CPSuccessChicago ctulocal1.org/chicago-union-…

Librarians are not an expense...they are an INVESTMENT and directly tied to student achievement. nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/lib…

Chicago & Philadelphia have one thing in common: savage inequality in access to public school libraries & loss of opportunity for critical student learning across an array of print & digital literacy skills ChiSchoolLibrarians Raise Your Hand The Philadelphia Inquirer inquirer.com/columnists/lib…

I wasn’t a reader as a kid in part because my local library was ALWAYS closed. No school librarians either. Every DCPS student deserves a well stocked school library and a full time certified school librarian. #DCPSNeedsLibrarians #DCPSSchoolLibraries #tlchat #DCPSProgressPride

School librarians are a necessity, not a luxury. We stand with school librarians in DC fighting for the support they need to serve their students, because schools need librarians, full stop. #DCPSNeedsLibrarians washingtonpost.com/local/educatio…

All Chicago Public Library locations are now CLOSED. Don't forget that chipublib.org has tons of online content to keep you amused and engaged while you shelter in place. Stay tuned for more!

School libraries are essential for comprehensive education - here are just a few of the 100 things students miss without a library at school. See the whole list and more school library advocacy resources: ala.org/aasl/advocacy/… #NLLD2020 AASL

These losses are magnified during a period of remote instruction w/leadership lost for teachers & students around issues of information discovery & evaluation, technology use, digital citizenship, and understanding of digital divide issues & educational inequality ChiSchoolLibrarians

UFT NYCSLA would like to invite Michael Mulgrew to sit down and speak to some of his members about the important work school librarians do. NYC Public Schools NYC School Library System Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels @nyla_ssl

NYCSLA is proud of what school librarians do. We will be tweeting to acknowledge all of the hard work that goes into being a school librarian. We are not keepers of the books but the leaders in learning. Please retweet to give school librarians the recognition they deserve.

CPS and the mayor like to talk about equity and trust, yet on a good day, we only have four school libraries on the West Side. Four.
