Ocean Pines, MD (February 8, 2023) - Maryland Association of School Librarians (MASL) is pleased to announce the 44 nominees, and 14 finalists, for the 2023 Maryland School Librarian of the Year award which honors a school librarian for exemplary service and outstanding achievements in the field of school library media. The recipient of the award will be announced at the Maryland Association of School Librarians Conference in Linthicum, Maryland (April 15, 2023).

Since Maryland schools shut down on March 16, my email inbox has exploded with offers of FREE resources for me, my teachers, and my students.  While I appreciate the support that so many of them have shown, I am hesitant to throw caution to the wind and sign up for everything just because… well… it’s FREE!

MASL is currently seeking nominations for Executive Board positions including Elected positions, Appointed Committee Chairs, and Recommended Committee Members.  We are in search of school librarians, school library supervisors, and school library assistants who are looking for leadership opportunities that have an impact on school libraries throughout the state.  Positions are all one-year unless otherwise stated.  Board meetings are held monthly and most meetings are virtual.
