It is nearing that time when many school librarians are putting together their budget requests for the next school year. Please consider including a MASL membership of $25 in your future budget plans. Your membership enables MASL to continue to offer new professional development and scholarship opportunities, support intellectual freedom and offer a mentoring program for new school librarians.

As a school librarian, you play a vital role by providing access to information and resources that are essential to the education and personal growth of your students and school community. Your professional membership helps you stay up-to-date on the latest trends in the library field, connect with colleagues, and take advantage of valuable resources and benefits.
