Every year as we eagerly look forward to spring, my husband attempts to temper my almost desperate anticipation by reminding me that "April is the cruelest month" (with apologies to T.S. Eliot).  After having endured  one of the cruelest winters many of us can remember, I think we can handle whatever April has in store!  Fortunately, the month is full of literary and music celebrations that might lighten our moods!

April is POETRY MONTH, NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK and JAZZ APPRECIATION MONTH; there are also holidays like EARTH DAY; as well as observances of the WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD and EL DÍA DE LOS NIÑOS, EL DÍA DE LOS LIBROS/ CHILDREN'S DAY, BOOK DAY.

When setting up displays tied to these events or reviewing your collections for representative materials, don't forget Live Oak Media readalongs that will add to your students' and patrons' listening enjoyment!   We'd love to hear how you use our materials in your classroom or library!  

Happy reading and listening,

Debra Cardillo
