[LM_NET] AASL on the Hill and new SKILLS Act

[Cyndi Phillip <cphillip_56@YAHOO.COM>]

Thank you to any and all AASL members that made it to The Hill on Tuesday for the 
press release. For those who did not make it you should know that AASL and ALA had 
a press release with the senators and representatives who introduced the SKILLS Act 
in congress. I hear that there was great applause following the introduction on the 
floor. (I missed it as I had to hussel back to an AASL board meeting following the 
press release.) To learn more about all of this, go to the ALA homepage 
(www.ala.org) and click on             Legislation Introduced to Ensure Essential 
Library Resources, Support for 21st Century Education

Watch for more to follow on how to contact your members to support this act.
