Vote in ALA Elections!

There are only a few days left to cast your vote in the AASL and ALA 2008 elections! Voting will close on Thursday, April 24th.

As of 4/15 only 23% of AASL eligible voters had cost their vote in the ALA election. If you are a ALA member, you need to vote! This is the time to make the presence of school librarians stronger in ALA. There is even an AASL member and school librarian running for President of ALA. In order to have a stronger voice in ALA it is important for AASL members to vote and elect school library people to these important roles.

Voting is very easy-go to:https://www.alavote.org/2008/

If you are an ALA member you should have received a logon and password through email. Don’t know who to vote for and don’t want to read all those long bios? Here is a listing of those candidates that are either AASL members or members of other school/youth divisions: http://www.ala.org/ala/aasl/aboutaasl/aaslgovernance/aaslelections/general.cfm
