Thanks, Melissa!  

I am joining in the fun as well by tweeting a quote or saying about the power of school libraries/librarians every day for all of April. I‘ll include your hashtag in my posts (retweets are always welcome)... and I use #luckylibrarian in my library-related social media posts on a regular basis as well, so feel free to use that one too!

We must advocate FOR each other WITH each other!

Good Morning,

April is the month the American Association of School Librarians celebrates School Library Month! 

In honor of this, I am using the hashtag #joyfulteacherlib as well as creating a flipgrid we can record 90 second videos to tell the world why we think school libraries are important and what we love about them.  

This could be a great tool for our ongoing advocacy efforts both locally and nationally!  Please share this with your school, staff, and community. 

I encourage you to create your own grid for your school community as well! 

Please share via email and social media! 

Link to the grid 

Have a great day!
Melissa
