[aisle] school library staffing level recommendations

[Carolyn Kinsella]

Illinois school library staffing is currently a question without a concrete
answer but multiple agencies are in the process of obtaining this
information. Go to the RAILS website https://www.railslibraries.info/ and
click on the Data in Libraries link. There is a lot of information
concerning the ongoing effort to obtain school library data. If you have
specific questions that are not answered on the website, contact  Janette
Derucki <janette.derucki at railslibraries.info>, Data Research Specialist. We
all know that data helps drive advocacy efforts.
