The passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) offered a significant opportunity for school librarians; it also created opportunities to partner with school librarians on their efforts to be included in their states' educational plans. This three-part article explores the development and rollout of the American Association of School Librarians' (AASLs') ESSA State Workshops; how these workshops spurred additional state advocacy efforts from the California School Library Association (CSLA); and the AASL Vision for Implementing ESSA Task Force's continuing efforts to track state ESSA plans and provide advocacy tools and resources for school librarians.
