ASLA continues to advocate for well-resourced school libraries in all Australian schools. This includes all school library staff.

Kate Temple has a petition up and running that has now hit over 15000 signatures. Please add yours and share widely via your networks 
Mandate qualified teacher librarians in schools!

Kay Oddone has created a handout about the assumption that every school has a teacher librarian - yet there is no national mandate. theanswerisinthelibraryA3.PDF

Students Need School Libraries advocacy campaign is continuing its support of school library staff with coordinators Elise Ellerman and Hajnalka Molloy speaking on national media. Resources can be found on the website.

We are indebted to the many authors who have added their voices in support of the T/Ls in CSNM and school library staff across Australia.

Let's keep the momentum going.
