Advocacy Committee Challenge: School Library Month
April 1st marks the first day of School Library Month and the VAASL Advocacy Committee has a new #VAASL SmallSteps Challenge for 2025 planned to help you celebrate. The #VAASL SmallSteps Campaign began several years ago based on the idea that small steps can lead to big changes. This year we have designed four easy, but important advocacy challenges. Each Friday a special School Library Month email will explain the challenge and provide resources to help you complete it. Every time you complete a challenge your name will be entered in a prize drawing for a $25 Barnes and Noble card!
The first challenge will be shared this Friday, April 4th, which is also National School Librarian Day! They will be sent via email, socials, and can be found under the "Latest News" blog at the bottom of the VAASL homepage.
