Happy National #LibraryMonth!

Today we're shining the spotlight on James Allen (@tljamesa.com)! "I love being a librarian and supporting school libraries because we are able to provide something key to any learner: access."

Be sure to tag a librarian and thank them today!

2nd graders researched emotion coping strategies then created emoji cards to share with Wilkerson students for the #studentsrebuild and #creativevisions Spark Peace Project. They are helping the school community while raising money to help create peace around the world. #jcpslibraries #jcaslky

During Black History Month, we honor Rebecca Taylor Bingham the first African American president of AASL and KLA. While on the U.S. National Commission on Libraries, she championed school librarians' role in student success. Her leadership continues to inspire the profession.
