Hello Northeast Region Members!
We are glad you're part of the Massachusetts School Library Association. ​Do you have ideas, information, or accomplishments you would like to share with other school library staff in our region? If so, please reach out to Barb or Laura about hosting an event or presenting at one of our Northeast Area events! 
"Local Events by Local Members" series
Presented by the MSLA Northeast Region (open to all MSLA members)​

Spring 2021 saw Metrowest and Northeast packing their beach bags and winding down this unprecedented school year by discussing summer reading plans, playing games, and winning prizes

Winter 2021 once again had the Metrowest and Northeast Areas team up to offer the sweetest Valentine's celebration of love: for our companion school librarians, the 2021  ALA YMA winners, games, and crafts.

Fall 2020 saw the Metrowest and Northeast Areas combine to conjure all sorts of delights for our spooky Halloween-inspired virtual professional development.
Winter 2020 brought Northeast Area PD to the beautiful brand new Billerica Memorial High School Learning Commons where Berne Award Winning host, Rachel Bouhanda, shared her podcasting expertise.

September 2019 was off to a strong start thanks to Gale trainer Stacey Knibloe and Massachusetts Library System/MSLA cosponsored professional development, "State Database Training for School Libraries: What's New with Gale?"

As always, please reach out with questions and be sure to make good use of the listserv; it's one of the great benefits of being an MSLA member!
