April 4 - National School Librarian Day


Happy National School Librarian Day! On April 4 each year, today recognizes the professionals who keep the school library in working order.  

School librarians spend long hours keeping the library organized. They’re also dedicated to helping our children find the resources they need to keep learning.  

School librarians are the people who create an environment where students can learn every day of the year. Their work is an impressive accomplishment. 

The school librarians provide guidance and expose our youth not only to texts, print media, and literature but to digital resources and the technology as well. These resources connect them to libraries around the world.  

A school librarian’s ability to manage scores of media and a library full of students with numerous projects and schedules astounds us. They stay up-to-date on the latest. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Remember the school librarian on this day. Take a little gift or a card and tell them “Thank You!” National Day Calendar® has created a postcard just for the occasion. Download and print it on cardstock by visiting the website below: 

  
Make sure your printer settings are set to print on both sides of the paper. The cards are 5.5 x 4.25 inches. Then color and mail the postcard to your librarian and let them know how much you appreciate them. 

Use #SchoolLibrarianDay to post on social media. 

HISTORY 

National Day Calendar® continues to research the origins of this school holiday. However, librarians and school librarians have been celebrated for decades.School districts or individual schools often launched celebrations recognizing their librarians.  

These celebrations took place at different times throughout the school year. It wasn’t until more recent decades that the practice took place during Library Week or other reading-related celebrations.
