Yes, we know it is still March, but it is time to start planning for School Library Month in April!

School Library Month is the American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) celebration of school librarians and their programs. Every April school librarians are encouraged to host activities to help their school and local community celebrate the essential role that strong school library programs play in transforming learning. The 2016 theme is School Libraries Transform Learning.

Megan McDonald, author of the popular Judy Moody series, the Stink books, and the Sisters Club trilogy, is the national spokesperson for the 2016 celebration. Go here to view all the ideas you can use in your setting including web graphics, printable posters, and proclamation templates. To celebrate, AASL is offering the following complimentary webinars (live mode only for non-members).
