<p class="MsoNormal">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.

<p class="MsoNormal">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.
