URGENT: Senate vote 6/16 - Tell your senator NJ students need an information literacy standard!

Forums

S588, the information literacy bill that would create a separate content standard for information literacy, has been posted for a vote by the full NJ Senate on Thursday. After successfully being passed by the Senate education committee, the full Senate will now be voting on this bill. Please call or email your senators to ask for their support of S588 and tell them how important this is for New Jersey students.

School librarians have been advocating for this for 6 years! We've never been closer to achieving the goal and we need this to pass!

Use this link from the Save School Librarians website to make contacting your NJ state senator even easier! The email is written for you and your senator is selected based on your address. Easy peasy!
