Canadian School Libraries (CSL) is a new organization dedicated to
fostering the growth of the school library learning commons in Canada.
While its formation was triggered by the dissolution of the CLA, CSL
envisions its larger mission as an incubator for the growth of the
school library learning commons in Canada through fostering research and
professional knowledge, and strengthening the network of practitioners,
scholars and supporters across the country. Join us as we share plans
for extending the influence of Leading Learning: Standards of Practice
for School Library Learning Commons in Canada (CLA 2014), rejuvenating
the online journal School Libraries in Canada, fostering research with
the Treasure Mountain Canada symposium, and developing strategic
relationships for realizing the capacity of school libraries to lead
learning for the future.
Outcomes:
– Learning about the CSL and its importance for school libraries in Canada.
– Learning of the benefits for library program growth.
– Finding ways to support the important work of CSL.
