AASL hosts several member forums on ALA Connect:

AASL Member Forum

Since all members of these forums belong to ALA and its divisions, ALA Connect allows school library professionals to engage in honest conversations, seek advice, and share challenges in a welcoming and accommodating space. These forums have restricted access, reducing the risk of misinformation, spam, or interactions with unverified individuals. Discussions remain targeted and relevant, keeping the focus on profession-specific topics rather than unrelated or distracting content.
