Attention School Library Media Specialists: A new brochure, "The Principal's Manual for Your School Library Media = Program," has been mailed to over 84,000 principals responsible for = elementary and middle school students at both public and private schools = in the United States. Developed by the American Association of School = Librarians (AASL) through a grant from the Bound to Stay Bound Books = Foundation, the brochure is designed to guide principals in assessing and = planning for their school library media programs.=20 AASL realizes that anything mailed to a principal that has the word = "library" in the title may be forwarded to you. The gist of the brochure = is that you, the school library media specialist, and the principal are = partners and need to work together to achieve an effective program. If = you are the lucky recipient of the brochure, be sure to read it through = and meet with your principal to answer some of the guiding questions that = are included. This manual is offered as an aid for principals as they prepare with = school library media staff, district administrators, teachers, students, = and parents for the next school year. It emphasizes student achievement = as the bottom line, adequate staffing for school library media centers, = and planning for technology. References are included that lead principals = to guiding documents in program evaluation, student achievement, and = learning standards. We hope that the brochure helps you to partner with your principal as = education leaders in your school. Steven L.
