A Short Word from the Editors
Keep them Reading, Thinking, and Making this Summer
This has been a chaotic school year for students, and many have suffered because of lack of access to books for an extended period of time. If you and your students are actually present at school (we mean bodily present!) then we strongly encourage you to lend books for the summer, and allow generous limits. Let the summer help refresh our students’ love of reading.
Send your students to the public library! Libraries across the country run the TD Summer Reading Club, and this year that club is online! Get some tips in this edition of CSL Journal.
Be a Library Activist
These are precarious times, and you are exhausted. We know that. Despite the uncertainties about next school year, there are some hopeful signs for school libraries as we emerge from the pandemic. This edition recounts recent advocacy successes and envisions how school libraries can lead for the future. As they say, we are all in this together, and together we can lead learning for the future.
Wishing you the very best for the end of the school year. As you take some time to renew and refresh over the summer, we hope you’ll do just a little bit of dreaming about future possibilities.
