Updated Elementary Library Media Center Websites and ALA Youth Media Awards

Updated Elementary Library Media Center Websites

I am pleased to share that the updated Elementary Library Media Center websites are "live" on the School District of South Milwaukee website.  After you access the district website, select your school then click on Library Media Center from the left column website contents. Here you will find the SDSM Library Media Program mission statement, a collection of linked icons to many sites including Follett Destiny, Kidblog, RazKids, Tumblebooks, and more!  It also has linked Typing icons, and a Google form for book recommendations for teachers and students.  On the left side of the page is a linked page for each school for more linked sites.  Please check it out.  

ALA Youth Media Awards

Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year in the library world!  The ALA Youth Media Awards is the day when the Caldecott, Newbery, Coretta Scott King, Pura Belpre, Theodore Seuss Geisel and several other awards are announced for the year!  In the next several weeks, I will be teaching students what signifies each award, and sharing as many of the award winning books as possible to students.  If you are interested in following the results tomorrow live, check out a free live webcast at the following link: http://ala.unikron.com/2016/  The awards will also be trending over Twitter at #alayma.
