The AASL Distinguished Service Award & Scholarship Fund is an opportunity to ensure every school librarian is a leader and every learner has a school librarian. Your donation will annually support both:
Investing in AASL’s Distinguished Service Fund is twofold: (1) honors a school librarian with a sustained record of service to the profession, and (2) supports the development of future leaders by providing a scholarship and mentorship to a mid-career school librarian. The donation page is automatically set to a $25 donation but is editable to any amount you would like to give. |

"I’m honored to receive this award because it means that in a small way, I join the school library leaders who’ve helped me—unknowingly—over my career. My mission is to help librarians develop and use quality collections that enrich students' love of reading and learning—forever." |
Click here for full list of past Distinguished Service Award Recipients. Based on the work of the Distinguished Service Award Task Force and data collected from focus groups, this award has been transformed to recognize the leaders who have advanced the profession and ensure leadership development for the future. Given annually, the Distinguished Service Award winner will receive support to attend the AASL National Conference and offer an in-person mentorship opportunity to the scholarship recipient from their year. The scholarship will include ALA/AASL membership (three years), national conference registration, travel and accommodations, and volunteer leadership opportunities. AASL would like to thank the Distinguished Service Award Task Force for its development of the Distinguished Service Award & Scholarship Fund.
