[aisle] Requesting input for Central Illinois Library Legislative (Zoom) Meet-up

[Lou Ann Jacobs]

Dear AISLE Members--

Some background information--AISLE is working with ILA to get information
about school libraries in front of legislators. There are a series of
Legislative Meet-Ups that are going on during February and early March. Due
to COVID-19, they are being held virtually. Information about the Meet Ups
was on the list earlier in January.

Brian Chase, the director of the Normal Public Library, is in charge of the
meet-up for Central Illinois library advocates and legislators. He would
like input from school librarians to inform legislators about what is
happening in school libraries during these trying times. *If you are
working in a Central Illinois School District*, please respond directly to
Brian with your library story.

This has a tight timeline and he is requesting input sent to him no later
than this Thursday, February 18.

Please answer directly to Brian . You will find his email below.

If you have any questions you can ask Brian directly or contact me.

Thank you for all you do for our students.
