    AASL empowers leaders to transform teaching and learning.

    Many of you may have heard about the firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, our Librarian of Congress. It's a devastating blow to the library world, especially to a person who has made a transformative difference to what the Library of Congress has become to our country.

     

    Between all that is happening on the state and national fronts, things can feel quite disheartening with news like this making you question whether any kinds of actions are making a difference.

     

    Well, I'm here to remind everyone that YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE in your library, school, and in your community. Keep doing what you do and be a positive, impactful leader in your space. Our learners and teachers need our welcoming spaces and books to help them escape the stress in their worlds.

     

    Be sure to take care of yourselves. Never forget how much you are appreciated.
