Action Advocacy for the School Library Learning Commons
La promotion d’action de la bibliothèque scolaire

Action Advocacy: We all own it, at every level of an organization and across the profession. We demonstrate our worth and move the profession and program forward through what we do everyday. Nous en sommes tous propriétaires, à tous les niveaux d’une organisation et de la profession. Nous démontrons notre valeur et améliorons la profession et le programme grâce à nos activités quotidiennes.
