Dear Folks, Just warning you that I am grouchy today! Too much to do before school starts and not enough of a break...anyway, can someone explain to me why ALA cannot have sliding scale membership dues in line with a library budget? My budget got cut from $1500.oo per year K-8 to $1,000.00...$140 for dues (which is basic ALA and AASL) is a chunk of my budget!) seems alot. I wouldn't mind if I was making this great salary, but I am not and it seems to penalize those school media specialist in low income schools. I will join regardless, but it does hurt and sometime I don't know what I get in return ( I know that I am supporting the profession...), as I cannot afford much of anything they offer from professional publications to cute stuff to buy for the media center... Told you I was grouchy! Tina Hudak "He was so tired that he flopped down upon the nice soft sand on the floor of the rabbit-hole, and shut his eyes."
