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!
