Hello Policy Corps,



We have new resources for school library workers related to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).<http://www.ala.org/advocacy/american-rescue-plan-state-guide> These resources can help school library staff and others advocate for ARPA funding for school libraries and include a sample op-ed template, sample talking points and elevator speech, sample letter to leadership (e.g., principal, school board), and a handout providing suggested ideas for using the funding. They were collaboratively developed with school library-focused Policy Corps members, including Amanda Kordeliski, Sara Benson, Ann Ewbank, and Deborah Rinio.



Please reach out with any questions, and please share!



Best wishes,
Megan
