"A Seat at the Table" by K.C. Boyd

This title was the mantra of the late Congresswoman, Shirley Chisholm. She simply said, "If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair."  When your voice isn't heard, welcomed, or valued, insist on making a space at the table where decisions are made and be an active part of the the process.  School librarians must have a seat at the table in K-12 education to ensure our children receive the very best in school library practioner service and library programming.
