<html><body><h2>Description and History</h2> <p>School Library Month is the American Association of School Librarians' celebration of school librarians and school libraries. Every April school librarians are encouraged to host activities to help their school and local community celebrate the essential role that strong school libraries play in transforming learning. The AASL efforts for a national School Library Month were spearheaded by Lucille Thomas, chair of the School Library Media Month Committee. Thomas was appointed by President Judy King in 1983. Their work came to fruition on April 1, 1985, when AASL officials, local and national dignitaries got the first School Library Month off to a rousing start with a ceremony on the west steps of the U.S. Capitol. <a href="/aasl/slm/history"><strong>Learn more about the history of School Library Month</strong></a>.</p> <h3>Related Events</h3> <ul> <li>School Librarian Day: April 4</li> <li><a href="/conferencesevents/celebrationweeks/natlibraryweek">National Library Week: April 7-13</a> <ul> <li><a href="https://uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-read-day/">Right to Read Day: April 8</a></li> <li><a href="https://ala-apa.org/nlwd/">National Library Workers Day: April 9</a></li> <li><a href="conferencesevents/celebrationweeks/natlibraryweek/national-library-outreach-day">National Library Outreach Day: April 10</a></li> <li><a href="/conferencesevents/take-action-for-libraries-day">Take Action for Libraries Day: April 11</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <h2>Promotional & Advocacy Tools</h2> <h3>Administrator Toolkit</h3> <p>Use the materials below as conversation starters with your administrator.</p> <ul> <li>Librarians not only craft their instruction to meet state standards and expectations, but also look to the National School Library Standards as a foundation for learning.
