[aisle] Are you an AISLE member?

[Sullivan, Kathy]

Good point, Roxanne.
In our small town, I do the work of a library director for our district
(two schools) plus run the Jr. Sr. Library (grades 6-12) but on an aide's
pay.  The work is thoroughly enjoyable, but the district did not want to
pay to hire an accredited librarian. I have a degree in English from U. of
I. but cannot see the point in furthering my education. The district would
no longer want to keep me employed at a teacher's salary plus the need to
cover insurance costs.
Across the state schools are cutting funds to libraries. I feel like we're
fighting an uphill battle, so I'm happy to keep up the battle in my current
situation.  I'd also be happy to join AISLE, but $85 is a bit steep for me
at this point.
