> Carl Harvey, AASL 65th Anniversary Committee Chair
> 2016 will mark AASL's 65th Anniversary. It's amazing to think back at how far we've come in those 65 years of service to school libraries. Standards, professional development, leadership building, and networking have been the hallmarks of the work AASL has done over the years (and will continue to do). To mark this anniversary, AASL is launching a giving campaign, titled "It's in Our Hands: Celebrate the Past and Transform the Future." The campaign is a way to celebrate our anniversary and use the funds to help transform our future. The funds from this campaign will be focused on two major projects.

> Helen Adams, KQ Blogger

> The AASL Conference IdeaLab is a great way to “speed learn” and collect best practices and innovative ideas from school librarians and library educators from all over the U.S. It is billed by AASL as a “best practices showcase.” IdeaLab is the latest in the series of cafeteria-style sharing opportunities for AASL Conference attendees. The concept began in 2005 with the Exploratorium, became the IdeaXChange in 2014, and now evolved into the IdeaLab.
