Just today Minister Clare spoke about the impact of AI of primary school aged kids, how AI can impact critical thinking and create 'cognitive stunting'. We agree! And you know who  can help with that? Teacher-librarians! They teach digital literacy. They promote critical thinking. If we are serious about helping our children navigate an increasingly digital world we need teacher-librarians and well funded libraries.  

Jason Clare was asked by the ABC about the petition to mandate teacher-librarians and he said his door is open, so help us get to Canberra to present this petition and represent this important issue.

We'd love you to write to him and tell him you'd like him to meet with us email: Jason.Clare.MP@aph.gov.au
Also hit up your local state or fed MP and tell them what you think. Now is the perfect time to turn the heat up.
