CHICAGO – By sharing the wealth of AASL membership with a colleague, Karin Ledford has won a free year of AASL membership. Ledford’s name was drawn as a monthly winner of the American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) Share the Wealth Campaign. By referring Stacey Mitzel to AASL, Ledford has been entered to win an AASL National Conference grand prize package, which includes registration, airfare, and hotel accommodations.
When asked why she recommended AASL membership to her colleague, Ledford, school librarian at Monterey Trail High School, replied: “Joining AASL has afforded me the opportunity not only to curate the most relevant resources for my high school students and staff, but it has also provided opportunities to virtually connect with other high school librarians around the nation. Sharing best practices this way has recharged my own practice.”
All current, personal AASL members are encouraged to invite their colleagues to join the only national professional organization focused on school librarians and the school library community. For each member recruited, the referring AASL member will receive an entry in a monthly drawing for a complimentary year of ALA and AASL membership. The referring AASL member will also be entered into a final grand prize drawing for an AASL National Conference grand prize package, which includes registration, three nights lodging, and roundtrip airfare to Salt Lake City, Utah, in October 2021. Multiple referrals will be accepted and will increase the member’s chances to win.
To participate and earn entry into prize drawings, download the Share the Wealth membership form located on the AASL website. Share the Wealth membership forms must be returned with payment directly to AASL. Memberships processed by ALA – either online or on paper – will not be included in the Share the Wealth campaign.
