For nine years the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL) celebrated International School Library Day (ISLD). ISLD has just got a whole lot bigger. It has grown into International School Library Month (ISLM).
This change was approved by the IASL Board in order to accommodate the many ways that school library personnel were celebrating ISLD. It was decided that each country, province, state and even school can choose their own specific day, week or even the whole month of October to celebrate school libraries.
In the coming months the International School Library Month (ISLM) section of the IASL web site will be updated to reflect the change.
Rick Mulholland, ISLM coordinator, has announced that the ISLM Committee has chosen Literacy and Learning at your School Library as the 2008 ILSM theme.

Good idea, because we were getting worried about the move of ISLD to the first Monday in October since our schools would be in their first week.
