January Highlights from AEA Purchasing

Check out what's happening with AEA Purchasing and our fabulous vendor partners this month:

+Statewide Technology Buy
AEA Purchasing solicits a line-item bid every two years for technology products that are emerging and in high demand. January 2022 marked a new cycle of awarded products and partners that are eager to serve Iowa's schools. Learn more here.

+IASL Award Books for 2022-23
The time has come for the 2022-23 IASL Award Book sets to be released. Order forms are now available online. For additional details, contact Laurie OR your local AEA media contact.

+Mackin Webinar
AEA Purchasing co-hosted a webinar this month with Mackin. During our time together, we explored the many ways school media centers can analyze just how diverse their collections are with the use of Mackin's tag tool. For a copy of the recording, contact Joni. Be sure to join us in February for a discussion on summer reading preparations. To contact Mackin direct, email our rep, Mindy Romero.
