Notes from Your President:
As we wrap up another school year, I want to sincerely thank all of our NSLA members for your involvement and for the important work you do every day to support students, staff, and school libraries across Nebraska. Your dedication to literacy, learning, inquiry, and creating welcoming spaces for students makes a lasting impact, and our organization is stronger because of your passion and commitment.
Thank you to everyone who participated in professional learning, advocacy efforts, and committees throughout the year, and we are looking forward to connecting with many of you at our upcoming conference. As we look ahead to next year, I encourage you to stay connected with NSLA and consider becoming even more involved — whether by attending events, serving on a committee, sharing ideas, or stepping into a leadership role. I hope you have a restful and well-deserved summer.
