Junior Library Guild
School Library Journal Magazine and School Library Journal (SLJ.com) serve librarians who work with young people in schools and public libraries reaching an audience of more than 100,000. The two resources give librarians information needed to integrate libraries into the school curriculum, become leaders in the areas of technology, reading, and information literacy, and create high-quality collections for children and young adults. It provides primarily books, but also includes audio, video and the Web. The magazine and its Web site provide 38,000 subscribers with information in making purchasing decisions. Launched with the title of Junior Libraries in September 1954 in the pages of its parent publication, Library Journal, the magazine eventually found independence and a new name, School Library Journal. SLJ started with nine issues per year and now publishes monthly. SLJ has expanded its franchise, with its semiannual supplement, Curriculum Connections, which informs K-12 educators about excellent supplemental books and related media.
