April is National School Library Month, which is a month to celebrate all school libraries have to offer to students and teachers. The theme for 2012 School Library Month is "You belong @ your library." Stay tuned to hear about special events occurring during April to celebrate school libraries. Until then, check out all the reasons you belong @ your library:
- Research anything – for a school assignment or your own personal projects
- Get a global perspective – learn about other cultures, global issues and events
- Enjoy great programs – authors, speakers, open-mic, special events
- Study in a quiet place – study for an exam, write that essay
- Hang out with friends – catch up on the latest gossip, compare gaming strategies, make plans for the weekend
- Explore new ideas – take the opportunity to investigate topics of interest or importance to you, satisfy your curiosity
- Feel safe – spend time where there is always a welcome smile and an offer of support, find a kindred spirit
- Lose yourself in a good book – participate in the promotion of reading through book clubs, suggesting titles for inclusion in the library collection, write book reviews
- Expand your world online – use it for school-based assignments and explore your personal interests
- Find endless opportunities – be a student library aide, meet with your favorite club, see an student work on display, the possibilities are endless
