AASL 2025 is the American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) strategic plan for the future of school libraries. It is a comprehensive plan that addresses the changing needs of students and educators in the 21st century. AASL 2025 is based on four pillars: empower, engage, connect, and lead.
The AASL 2025 plan is essential for school libraries because it provides a roadmap for the future. It helps school librarians to identify the skills and knowledge that students need to be successful in the 21st century, and it provides guidance on how to create school libraries that are innovative, engaging, and supportive. AASL 2025 also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between school librarians and other educators, and it provides resources to help school librarians build partnerships with teachers, administrators, and parents.
