    Thankfully there are many commemorations to celebrate during "the 100 Days of May" as we make our way to the end of the school year. This time of year, we often find ourselves extra busy with extra long to-do lists: making final purchases, creating end-of-year surveys or infographics, finalizing our inventories, and multi-tasking to accomplish [...]

    As school librarians, we know the power of a well-timed resource: the book that offers clarity during a curriculum shift, the guide that helps us rethink instruction, the professional text that reminds us we're not alone in this work. At AASL, we strive to publish books that meet those needs and reflect the evolving realities [...]
