CASLnetwork - Canadian Association for School Libraries

Canadian Association for School Libraries

A community of school library specialists working in Canadian schools. Pour ceux ou celles qui travaillent dans les bibliothèques scolaires.

Welcome to the CASL Network

CASL launched this network so that teacher librarians and school library staff across Canada can meet, discuss issues, ask questions, form like minded groups, (either by province or territory or by themes like Advocacy or Literacy Skills), post pictures and videos.

This is the starting point. Anyone working in or for school libraries in Canada is invited to join.

-------------------------------------
CASL offre une présence sur l'Internet pour ceux ou celles qui travaillent dans les bibliothèques scolaires francophones au Québec et dans le reste du Canada. Nous vous invitons à nous joindre dans des discussions, à poser des questions, à joindre des groupes (par province ou par thèmes), et à ajouter des photos ou des vidéos.

Ceci est un point de départ. Nous invitons tous ceux et celles qui travaillent dans ou pour les bibliothèques scolaires francophones à nous joindre.
