1 | ID | Name | District | Have you visited a school library in the past three years? | If so, was the school library staffed by a certified school librarian? | How important is it to you that all Michigan students have access to effective school libraries staffed by certified school librarians? | Do you believe that all K-12 schools should have a certified school librarian to guide the reading interests and abilities of students and teach students research and other information and technology skills? | How important is it to you that all Michigan public schools provide their students with a comprehensive education in digital citizenship, and information and media literacy? | How likely would you be to support the legislative goals of HB 4663, HB 4664, and HB 4665? | If re-introduced next session would you be interested in sponsoring this type of legislation? | Do you believe that students need school library services and related educational resources in order to be prepared for career and college? | Intellectual freedom is the right of every person to seek and receive information about any topic from multiple points of view. It includes the right to hold, receive, and share ideas and information. All people have the right to intellectual freedom, including children and teenagers. How concerned are you about the increase in book challenges and bans that aim to limit the freedom to read for Michigan residents? | Students who see themselves in books gain a greater sense of ownership and accountability to their classrooms, school, community and the wider world. Children have the right to read texts that mirror their experiences and languages, provide windows into the lives of others, and open doors into our diverse world. How important is it for students to have access to inclusive books and resources? | Parents may guide their children’s media consumption based on what they feel comfortable with, but they are responsible only for their own children and may not dictate what other children and adult community members can access. How important do you feel it is to protect access to information? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
