School Libraries & You
Please Note: During the entire month of August, AASL's regular Web site maintenance will be suspended for ALA's implementation of its redesign. New AASL press releases will still be published, and wikis and blogs will not be affected. Although the Web site will not change during the month of August, it will still be visible, and Fall Forum registration and ALA/AASL membership renewals will not be affected. When the new ALA site debuts on September 2, 2008, the redesign will have no visible effect on the AASL Web site.
