=Creating the Future: a 2020 Vision Plan for Library Service in New York State = @http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/adviscns/rac/2020final/index.html

Action needed **:**Contact your area Regent, Chancellor Tisch and Regent Tilles to "softly" thank the Regents for their support of the Vision 2020 report, acknowledge their work to implement the plan and remind them that, especially, the recommendation to expand Regulation 91.1 to include elementary librarians would make a positive difference for the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Include your own "stories," direct suggestions about CCSS implementation, etc. The number of e-mails counts! Do this NOW! Contact info for current members: @http://www.regents.nysed.gov/members/
