CASLN exists as a networking group for school librarians. We are inclusive of all information specialists: library students, college professors, retired professionals, and technology coaches. Join us as we support each other, advocate for school librarianship in the Chicago Area, and share resources.
We meet in person 4 times a year. We are a flexible group that understands job and family commitments may limit your availability. Though our meetings run from 4:30-7: 00 p.m. attendees may show up later or leave earlier, as needed.
