Whether it is a small group who shows up at school board meetings to defend a program cut or a group of parents who, via website, blog, e-mail, phone calls, and visits, challenge a state legislature to provide funding for school library programs and resources, parents are the strongest advocates for school library programs, writes the President of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL.) AASL and the American Library Association recognize the power of partnerships with parents and are ready to work side by side to make a difference for twenty-first-century learners.
