School Library Month 2012

You belong @ your library®

What is School Library Month?

School Library Month (SLM) is the American Association of School Librarians' (AASL) celebration of school librarians and their programs. Every April school librarians are encouraged to create activities to help their school and local community celebrate the essential role that strong school library programs play in a student's educational career. Read about the history of School Library Month.

The 2012 theme is You belong @ your library®.  The AASL School Library Month Committee is busy planning activities and creating resources to help school librarians celebrate, so check back often for new materials. 

Get a jump on the celebration by contacting your local elected officials and inviting them into your school library during the month of April.  Why not ask them to make a proclamation about School Library Month?

Decorate your library or library website with the Ten Reasons You Belong at Your School Library poster or web graphics!

Just announced! The You Belong @ Your School Library Student Video Contest  - Encourage your students to create videos detailing how they belong in your school library and submit them via SchoolTube.com by March 29th!
