Building Relationships/Partnerships between K12 & Academic Librarians- Apr 24, 6pm CST

  • 1.  Building Relationships/Partnerships between K12 & Academic Librarians- Apr 24, 6pm CST

    Posted 15 days ago

    Hello Everyone,

    All school and academic librarians are invited to join the AASL Town Hall on Wednesday, April 24 at 6pm CST (7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific) to discuss building relationships between K-12 and post-secondary librarians. As educator librarians who serve the same population, just at different age levels, this conversation will provide an opportunity to grow connections between both types of libraries. Participants in the Town Hall will be encouraged to share their thoughts on how they currently support learners, what a dream partnership between K-12 and academic librarians would look like, and ideas on how to increase connections between K-12 and post-secondary.

    For information, or the register, please visit https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VoTz48bgSx6yGQcG4Z_wEA. 

    Best,
    Brendan
