[Michlib-l] School Library Data?

[Lester, Kathy]

I had sent the below response to Stacie - but thought others might be
interested in the information.
Also, the Michigan Association of School Librarians (MASL) does have a
member listserv and a great community that supports each other.
All are welcome!

*Some information*:
Here is an evidence document from the Michigan Association of School
Librarians (MASL) -  bit.ly/slibevid which cites a Michigan study.
Here is a graphic from the Michigan study about 4th-grade reading.
Some other advocacy tools --
a one-page flyer (double-sided) -- from MASL (formerly called MAME) with
Michigan information. (See attached)

a one-page flyer from ALA at:

Let me know if you need anything else or support in your advocacy work.
