[ISLMA-Share] It's On Us: Kickstarting a School Librarian Documentary with School Librarians of Rhode Island

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

With echos of "what do librarians even do?" we want to show how crucial school librarians are to student success. The video could then be used as an advocacy tool for librarians across the country to help showcase the myriad of skills, talents, and responsibilities that modern school librarians have.
