I totally agree with Shonda, Deborah, Linda, and Alice. Sharing
information from library related conferences helps to keep those of us
unable to attend "in the loop." I have learned so much from everyone
reporting their findings from the NECC. I would have loved to attend,
but you know how budgeting is these days.
I will be attending the North Carolina School Library Media Association
in October. I will be sure to share what I learn with you all. By the
way, Doug Johnson presented at last year's NCSLMA. I don't know how he
keeps up with his duties. He's like the Energizer bunny that keeps
going, and going, and going....
Thanks to all who shared their information.
