DCLA is mentioned in a recent article in School Libraries Journal regarding the planned 2013 cuts to school libraries in DC. This comes after DCLA President Megan Sheils, President-Elect Jacqueline Protka, and Past-President Richard Huffine met with Councilmember Tommy Wells to advocate for both public and school libraries. As we can all do individually, we spoke with the Councilmember to inform him on the value of these resources and the impact the community will feel if municipal funding continues to be cut from libraries.
We all have the opportunity to educate and inform others about the value libraries bring to our community and DCLA's Board is proud to be a voice for so many of our past, current and future members!
