A school librarian's day always holds a few surprises! Sometimes it's a change in the schedule! Sometimes it's an unexpected book delivery! Whatever it may be, librarians are always ready!
Recently, I enjoyed a surprise myself! I was honored to hear that I was one of three finalists in a new recognition program with AASL!
This news today made me reflect about my membership in AASL. No doubt, joining a professional association as a librarian is a smart thing to do --especially one with such amazing resources and offerings! I know that being connected to a group that shares and learns together makes me a better librarian. I read the publications and posts and refer to them often during the week. Someone is always sharing their ideas and new ventures, and I am inspired to do the same! In fact, this is how my makerspace came about!
Even though they are not in my building or even in my state, I learn so much from my fellow school librarians with whom I am connected. Are you connected? If not don't wait any longer!
There are seven categories of finalist in the AASL program! I was named in the Curriculum Champion category. Make sure you check out all of the finalists in all of the categories, and if they have inspired you, please leave a comment for them! These comments and testimonials will be accepted from the public and the school library community until April 14th! I hope you will go through the list of finalists and add them to your PLN, too!
I celebrate all school librarians today and learn alongside you! I especially want to give a shout out to my fellow #cisdlib in my district and my #txlchat librarians in my state! They are each my teachers every day!
May your day be full of lovely surprises, too! And many book deliveries!
So happy for this lovely news, Cynthia! You are a rock star (in cute shoes, of course)!
