Greetings from an older "Carol".  I am a young 51, but I have to share
with all who read your message what a delightful, refreshing attitude I
think you have.  You are doing precisely what so many of us want to see
happening between media specialists and their staffs.

The most exciting thing about what you're doing is the connections you
are making within curricular areas and the connections you are making
across your staff.  You embody the philosophy of what the media
specialist of today and the future should be.  Get ready for an exciting
and varied career!  And, please, encourage others with your ideals to
join us.
