What have you done to celebrate School Library Month? The theme this year is Community matters @ your library, and some of your colleagues have contributed their activities to the “Community Calender” which the American Association of School Libraries (AASL) has set up to allow libraries to exchange their ideas and programs. Cassandra Barnett at Fayetteville (AR) High School created a living chess game in the library, while the library at Juan Morel Campos Secondary School (NY) sponsored a contest to redesign and revitalize the school’s outdoor courtyard, which will be judged by the principal. Contribute to the AASL Community Calendar by adding an activity that you are sponsoring through your school library this month.
The Community Calendar is also a great place to visit if you’re looking for program inspiration. AASL has provided other great resources for celebrating School Library Month. You still have two weeks left—get moving!
