May I suggest that this be put on next year conference program ? We are full for this year.
School librarians can/should discuss it when they meet in their roundtable. It’s a very important and worthwhile development that is certainly of interest to all.

The passage of the new education policy, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is being lauded as a new positive era for school libraries and librarians. How it affects private school libraries and funding remains to be seen. I'm in public school these days and I do expect to see more funding coming our way for library materials and professional development. This article highlights the main points of the new program. Perhaps AJL can address this new law at the convention in a mini-session and plan to get Avi Chai and other agencies involved with obtaining federal funds to explore how Jewish schools can be included and take advantage of the upcoming changes. http://everylibrary.org/esea-school-librarians-comes-next/ Evi Reznick books2g...@gmail.com<mailto:books2g...@gmail.com>
