[aisle] Elimination of Full-Time Librarian In Our Two-School District

[Christie C]

Karrie,
I am stunned to read this. You have done so much to transform your school’s
library and to bring such high quality lessons and lit discussions to the
students. I’m glad this group has provided you with some great advocacy
tools. I wish you all the best as you go forward.
Am thinking of you.
Sincerely,
Christie
