It’s time to break out the confetti and strike up the band because where would be without libraries?! Let’s give a round of applause to those magical havens where every shelf holds adventures and where imagination knows no bounds: school libraries. But libraries wouldn’t be the community hubs they are if it weren’t for librarians! Let’s corral around with a curated list of Canva templates specifically for librarians. And when you get to the end of this oh-so-magnificent list, take a moment to mark your calendars to be sure you’re celebrating librarians throughout the school year.
