The Strategic Planning Committee is planning to send presenters to each of the denominations conferences. They might not reach out to the day school directors, but it will be a start.We might need to do the same in conferences of Jewish Educators. The committee has identified about 17 associations of Jewish educators like RAVSAK, NewCAJE, PEJE and many others. If anyone plans to attend those we will try to support his/her attendance in exchange for a presentation on the librarian as an educator. Thank you to Chaya for pointing out to her head school 2 articles from the ALA journal that cite research that, when libraries and professional librarians are eliminated, the students do not do as well. It is too late for those that lost their position, but, it will be useful for other school librarians. The links are below. https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2015/09/04/support-school-libraries/

I think there is a misunderstanding. If we could invite the administrators of the schools and synagogues to an AJL conference and clue them in this might have a positive impact. This is just my thought.

Libraries are becoming other entities and librarians are being replaced by library assistants, people with subject degrees and not library degrees, or not at all. My sympathies to all those going through this. I had it happen in academic libraries twice (4 librarian positions eliminated and then when I did find another librarian position, the subject library was eliminated). Luckily, my Jewish library job is volunteer, so unless they decide they want the space for something else, I'll always have that job. I hope those in library school are being prepared for this new world.

After 24 years, the school where I worked and built up two libraries told me the same thing. Even after two years, I feel a connection to a school whose former building no longer exists. As this chapter (or book, as a friend put it at the time) draws to a close, it should be the beginning of a new and fulfilling one.
