If you've been following the wonderful story of Lisa, Susan, and Denette, you'll be happy to know that the Washington State moms are half way there. Senate Bill 6380 passed by a resounding and unanimous vote of 49 to 0! It now moves to the State House.

We're not there yet but we've learned that:

• Grassroot efforts work.
• Politicians will listen to mothers who care about their children's access to strong libraries. It's about the children.
• Washington can be a model for the rest of us.
