14 SLISsards participated in the ALA-SC SKILLs Act Advocacy Activity on February 12th, tapping into their inner child and putting together 40 valentines! Valentines urged elected officials to co-sponsor the Strengthen Kids' Interest in Learning and Libraries (SKILLs) Act. The SKILLs Act "guarantees that students across America will be served by state-certified school library media specialists and will have the library resources they need to succeed."
