Gear up for Summer Reading

Well the end of the year is upon us... What are your plans to promote and support Summer Reading?? Book Fairs are always a way to not only showcase the School Library but if planned at the right time you have the opportunity to make sure your students have new books for the Summertime. It's a Groovy Book Fair this week...... and everything is Grooooovy!!!  #peaceloveandbooks

Are you a "Connected Collaborator"

Who do you connect and collaborate with to ensure your students/patrons receive quality library services. Do you collaborate with teachers to support classroom instruction? Do you connect with the public library in the community you work to support literacy events? Do you collaborate with your administrator to share the vision of the school library program? Become a "connected collaborator!"

What a Blast!!!

If you did not have an opportunity to make it out to the LA Times Festival of Books this past weekend then you truly missed out. I had an amazing time (as usual) volunteering and enjoying all the wonderful things that the Festival had to offer. And of course you know I'm so USC so that just sweetens the pot! Well there is always next year if you couldn't make it this year.
