Alabama Library Media Update
May 2019 Edition
End of the School Year Wrap Up
We have (almost) made it to the end of the school year! I hope as you wind down library services for the school year this May, you consider thinking about how to plan for the 2019-2020 school year to grow, improve, and ensure the library media center positively impacts all students.
There will be a May First Friday; I know May is a hectic time with testing, end of the year activities, but it will be a continuation of the collection development & strategic planning discussion from February. This is a good topic to think on as you wrap up the school year. There will be a prerecorded session available for viewing at your convenience. If you would like to send in any questions for end of the year wrap up, you are welcome to send use this Google Form to submit questions.
I encourage you to check out the summer learning opportunities highlighted below. If anymore opportunities come to my attention, I will post on the ALMO website http://bit.ly/ALMO1.
There are three regional PD opportunities available that I will be helping present information. I hope to see you there!
May 2019 - Strategic Planning, Collection Development & End of the Year Wrap Up
