Senator Reed and Representative Grijalva have introduced the Right to Read Act to ensure that every student has the right to read in a fully resourced school library, staffed by a certified school librarian.

Please join me in thanking them for their work to support our students and their right to read and learn by adding your name here: bit.ly/Right2Read22

The American Library Association (ALA) goal is now 5000 'thank you' signatures.
Please help us to reach this goal.

Thank you!
