Bookmark Contest!

CASL will be sponsoring a bookmark contest for PK, Early-Elementary, Elementary, Intermediate, Middle, and High School Students from April 15-30. We have created an event template for you to run a school event from April 1-15. From April 15-April 25 you can upload your SCHOOL WINNER(s) to our shared folder, the CASL Board will select a winner from each category and announce on April 30. Please be on the lookout for an separate email to register your school. Author Dan Gutman shared some words to inspire your students: HERE

Share Your Story!

The CASL Board is also hoping to have all library users share their Library Stories through our collaborative Flip. Our school library community has amazing stories to share! I'm not talking about the ones that sit on our shelves... We want to hear from you and your patrons about how libraries have moved, supported, encouraged, saved, and/or connected them. Please encourage participation in the Flip far and wide, the more stories the better! We are hoping to share these stories with the Legislators and lawyers working on HB5417 (OUR LIBRARY BILL).

Speak Up!

Finally, we want to encourage EVERYONE to find out when their Board of Education meeting is in April (hometown or work town) and SPEAK UP! Speak up for your program by highlighting all the amazing work you do OR speak up for the librarians (or lack there of) during public comment at the Board meeting in the town you live.

Please share your activities with us on social media by tagging us and AASL! 

Happy School Library Month!
