We know that properly staffed and stocked school libraries really do make a difference in the lives of students. I&#8217;m not rehashing all of that, because &#8211; DUH! &#8211; we already know that. Despite this, the flippin&#8217; petition still doesn&#8217;t have enough signatures. It&#8217;s time to get it together, people!!<\/p>\n<p>This is what we are going to do: set up a petition station at your big Thanksgiving bash. I will be taking my laptop with this cute little sign I made and STRONGLY encourage every single person there to sign the petition:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Page_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-624\" title=\"Page_1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Page_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"603\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Page_1.jpg 603w, http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Page_1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>PDF Here:\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/SupportLibraries.pdf\">SupportLibraries<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I invite you to print it out and do the same.
