Greetings AzLA Members:
For those of you who have not heard, Mesa Public Schools, Arizona’s largest school district recently announced a three-year plan to eliminate all school librarian positions as part of a cost-savings measure. Additionally, school districts around the state continue reducing library services in an effort to balance their budgets.
In response to this alarming situation "Fund Our Future Arizona," a coalition of parents, businesses and other partners/endorsers, has been formed to launch a statewide effort to raise awareness for school libraries. The Arizona Library Association has responded by becoming an official Charter Member of "Fund Our Future Arizona". A petition has begun circulating to provide Arizona citizens a forum to voice their support, which I strongly encourage all members to sign. I have attached a press release with further information and contacts.

Please join me in an effort to support our libraries, schools, and students!
