School Library Month 

To celebrate School Library Month in April, the Maryland Association of School Librarians (MASL) is sponsoring the “I Love My School Library” contest.  Students can share why they LOVE their school library and what makes it the best library in Maryland.  Students are asked to submit an artifact that shows your love for your school library program. Artifacts can include a digital poster, mp4, PPT, FlipGrid, etc.  Three winners will be selected: One from an Elementary School, one from a Middle School and one from a High School.  Entries must be received by Monday, February 28, 2022.  See the MASL website for more information at https://masl.memberclicks.net/i-love-my-school-librarian#/
