"School librarians are encouraged to submit videos to AASL that support the School Library Month theme ‘Communities thrive @ your library’ and detail how the library helps their school community ‘thrive.’ This is an opportunity for school librarians to be creative and share why they are essential to their school community. Entries may include an interview with members of a school community, a typical day in the life of a school librarian or a short skit on why school librarians are essential to a school community."

And in the spirit of all things off-topic, our final video is T-Shirt War.  It’s all stop animation, weirdly enough.
