I must admit, that felt cutting and inaccurate as I've been using my own brain on this earth for 53 years now and continue to do so daily. The comment came from my admission that periodically I will tackle a [...] | | | |
| | | | Stephanie Charlefour | | 2025-10-27 09:51 AM | | As school librarians, we are at the heart of the educational ecosystem-nurturing inquiry, fostering critical thinking, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning. The National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries (second edition) offers a powerful framework for this mission.

| | | | Marie Langevin | | 2025-10-21 10:02 AM | | There's nothing quite like the energy of the AASL National Conference: the sessions that spark new ideas, the hallway conversations that lead to unexpected collaborations, the keynotes that reminded you of the importance of your work, and the reminder that we're part of a vibrant community of learners.

| | | | Steve Tetreault | | 2025-10-17 09:21 PM | | With another day of AASL in the rear-view mirror, I find myself at an odd crossroads. On the one hand, the days have been jam-packed with chances to learn and connect, and each day has seemed to stretch to accommodate it all.
