[CASL-L] reading culture monthly suggestions

[CASL President]

Hi Kim,

I haven't set up a calendar; however, I often use AASL's School Library
Promotional Events webpage <https://www.ala.org/aasl/advocacy/promo> to
help decide which activities can happen in the library throughout the year.

I'm sure Canva, or many other platforms, have templates. Feel free to share
your finished project on CASL-L! Keep us posted.

Thank you,
~Val
