Advocacy



The SLMS Board has completed the SLMS Crisis Kit. If there is a school system thinking about cutting SLMS positions, this is the site for you. Click here for the SLMS Crisis Toolkit.

 The School Library Systems Association (SLSA) has created an Advocacy Toolkit. Click here for the SLSA Advocacy Toolkit.

 Advocacy is as important today as it was a year ago, five years ago, or even longer than that. Not only do School Librarians work to educate students, we also spend time working with faculty and staff to make our services known.  Who else needs to know about our work? Legislators.  It is easy to send your support of school libraries to NYS legislators. Go to the NYLA homepage at http://www.nyla.org. Click on the red rectangle that says "Become a Library Advocate."

Completing this three minute process will generate a fax from you to your legislators - and it is FREE. Do it today!
