When Mike says: > >I also constantly - I mean CONSTANTLY - here complaints about our >profession being left out--about legislation, government reports, >curriculum, initiatives, programs, proposals--not including school >libraries or libraries in general. >But, everyone - EVERYONE - in our profession should realize that the only >national organization solely dedicated to the library profession and >library media issues is ALA/AASL. ALA/AASL is the only organization with a >full-time lobby effort in Washington. he hits the nail squarely on the head. NO group is perfect.
