"Washington School Libraries Rally." American Libraries. Videoclip. 19 Feb 2008. http://alfocus.ala.org/videos/washington-school-libraries-rally.

I chose this clip because it addresses the mistaken perception of the school library as being "optional." Through a variety of speakers, including three moms in Washington State who took it upon themselves to fight the school district's decision to cut school librarian hours to save money, the essential need for the school library is advocated.
