Cost saving opportunity for districts to purchase IASL award books

Media Services is proud to offer another year of 50% purchasing support for the 2024/25 Iowa Association of School Librarians (IASL) award sets. We have partnered with Perfection Learning to supply award sets for the 2024-2025 year. As part of this initiative, CRAEA will defray half the cost of one set of books for the grades served in each building. We value the importance of keeping current titles in libraries for our students and educators, and we know you do, too. Access the order form and be sure to place orders before the April 1, 2024 deadline. Orders placed by the deadline are guaranteed to be delivered by May 18th. This also ensures free posters are included, and there is enough time to process these purchases before the end of the fiscal year.

  • This offer is available to all schools served by Central Rivers AEA that are interested in purchasing.
