School Libraries

Submissions for School Librarian of the Year are now being accepted. Let us know what you, or an outstanding colleague, are doing.

Keynote addresses by James McBride, Tommy Orange, and Ijeoma Oluo, and sessions on reimagining school, next steps in antiracist teaching, and challenging the classics are just a few of the highlights of the 2020 SLJ Summit.

Ensuring that all students have access to reading material during remote learning; adjusting expectations for student research; fielding questions about Little Free Libraries.

Titles to inspire young and future voters at all grade levels.

AASL, IMLS, and We Need Diverse Books have funding and mentorships available.

Books for kids who like these summer and fall 2020 shows and movies.

Educators greet returning students and ease their anxieties while addressing the COVID slide. 

Traditional education largely has not addressed race and racism. That will only change if all teachers adopt antracist teaching methods.

As libraries reopen and return to being the heart of schools and their communities, these stories and lessons will serve as anchors for young readers who are hungry to understand and cope with their new world through the familiar and comforting format of books.
