School Library Month was meant to be a celebration of the invaluable contributions of school librarians in North Carolina. Instead, Franklin County Schools made a devastating decision to remove all certified school librarians, depriving every student in Franklin County of essential educational resources. We need your help to reverse these cuts and restore these school library professionals to their libraries and students.

School librarians are champions of equity and literacy. They teach essential skills such as Information and Digital Literacy, Digital Citizenship, Research Skills, Copyright, and more. Their expertise is crucial in navigating the complexities of the digital age and ensuring that every student has access to quality educational resources. 

Together, we can make a difference. Sign the petition from the North Carolina School Library Media Association (NCSLMA) and let your voice be heard. Every signature brings us one step closer to ensuring that every student in Franklin County has access to the resources and support they need to succeed. The decision to cut school librarians is short-sighted and detrimental to the education of our children. Let's stand together to reverse this harmful decision and ensure that our schools remain places of learning, growth, and opportunity for all students. Share this petition with your friends, family, and community members to amplify our message and protect the future of our schools.
