Happy School Library Month!

April is here, and that means we're officially celebrating School Library Month, the American Association of School Librarians' celebration of school libraries, their programs, and all they do. Check out the poster promoting this year's theme "Because School Libraries Empower Students."

Just how are we in the library empowering students at DCG Middle School? With a lot of choice and voice and work and building. We're talking about & recommending books to each other; using technology to lean, explore, and create; make connections personally and digitally; and, strengthening our relationships. Visit soon--we'd love to talk with you!

April is School Library Month!

April is a busy month in the library. All month long we celebrate School Library Month. The theme for this year is Communities Matter @ Your Library, and you can read all about it at the American Library Association's site. Also in April we celebrate National Library Week, and on April 18, we recognize Poem in Your Pocket Day, part of the recognition for National Poetry month. 

To kick off School Library month, the new display in the library features a different book or author or illustrator for each day in April. Check out some examples below:

Stop by to read that day's holiday book or author/illustrator recommendation. You might find an old favorite or be inspired to try a new book. See you soon!
