Dodie Ownes -- School Library Journal, 3/18/2009
April is not only the home of National Library Week (April 12–18), it’s also when the American Association of School Librarians has chosen to celebrate School Library Media Month. Adopting the National Library Week theme, “Worlds connect @ your library,” you can also celebrate National Library Workers Day on Tuesday, April 14. And as if there isn’t enough going on, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) is encouraging libraries to participate in Support Teen Literature Day,on April 16, by hosting events in their library or on their Web site.
