It is April and that means it’s School Library Month! VAASL is excited to bring back our #VAASLSmallSteps campaign! Throughout the month we encourage you to complete small steps to advocate and promote our school libraries.
April is School Library Month! Thank you, Governor Youngkin for recognizing our essential role! Every student deserves access to a school library! Thanks to thatlibrarygirl.net for the printable bookmarks! #VAASLSmallSteps
It was my absolute honor to meet Dr Hayden. School Librarians, she is paying attention to the scrutiny we are facing.

Author signings are exciting, but when the author is one of your very own students… 🤩
We love adding new books to our Library collection, and we are over-the-top excited that the author of our newest book is one of our very own! Congratulations to 7th grader Maddy K on the publication of her first book! Stop by and check it out! @mcpsvalibraries @KPassek
Check out “Shields Tower!” Lots of cooperation and problem solving by the 7C Pod as the set a @BruinsBMS school record by using all 1000 @KEVAplanks! @mcpsvalibraries
Super creative @BruinsBMS Ag & Technology Ss making Valentine’s arrangements in the Library this week for their Floral Design Unit!
