Forwarding from the American Association of School Librarians (AASL).

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights will be holding a "Celebration of Reading" rally in Washington, D.C., on August 31 and would like to invite school librarians to sign up and participate.  The event link is here: www.mobilize.us/peoplefor/event/652857 

From The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights:

Every child and every family deserves to be seen, heard, and included in our schools. They deserve to see themselves in the books they read, to learn with and from people who are different from them, and to grow and thrive in our multiracial democracy. We're coming together to say that we support every child and we know that the overwhelming majority of people in this country want to work together towards a brighter and more inclusive future.  

Join us on August 31 as we celebrate the joy of reading. www.mobilize.us/peoplefor/event/652857
