Council III June 28, 2006

Posted by tkirk in : ALA Council , trackback

Good morning! This is our last day in New Orleans and I have to say that this has been one fast week! I, for one, will be sad to leave. It has been such an awesome experience being here. We have election results and good news for us! Two school librarians and two youth services folks were elected to two key committees. Stephen Matthews, a Virginia high school librarian and an AASL member, and Barbara Genco, an ALSC past president, were elected to the Committee on Committees. This is a very important committee and we are very happy that these two were elected. The other winners were Katharine Lehman, another Virginian AASL member, and Bonnie Kunzel, a YALSA past president. They were elected to the Planning and Budget Assembly. This group serves as an advisory board to the Budget Analysis and Review Committee which is the group that sets the budget for all of ALA. Congratulations to these members. It is very nice to see that school librarians are being elected to these important and powerful committees!
