So, I thought, well it is voting time at ALA, and maybe we can vote for an ALA President who will make a difference for school libraries. I went to the online voting place, and dang, both candidates are working in positions far removed from school libraries. Then again, we have had school librarians as ALA President before, and nothing at ALA has changed with respect to how they treat school libraries. Inert bureaucracy? Maybe AASL should withdraw from ALA? Go it alone. Partner with another association that will fully appreciate the strength of our numbers and collective professional expertise. That way we will not be stifled and waste so much of our precious time waiting for ALA to treat us as equal partners in the Association.
