Still fond of school libraries -- sign this petition

Apparently, the President wants to know what the people of America think about issues.  What a concept!  I do believe that we could return to representative democracy and a place where we can debate things rather than shouting at each other. . .

 I think school libraries need more than just certified librarians -- they need certified librarians that have the time to create curriculum and teach, they need trained support staff to maintain the collection and help kids borrow books, and they need computers as well as books.  And probably a few ebook readers as well.  But this is a start, so go ahead and sign the petition -- and create your own.

This Thanksgiving week I am more grateful than ever before for my family, my church community, and my friends.  Remember to be grateful for all we have this week.  Happy Thanksgiving.
