Re: GEN: Stump the Librarian Game

[Kim Vawter <kvawter@ESU3.ESU3.K12.NE.US>]

I agree Bill, We don't want to play that game (stump the Librarian) Been
there, done that! How about a group of students sponsored by a history
teacher or a crack group of physics kids or a the Academic Decathlon club
doing the Librarian thing for a day. Rewards for the info hunters and
rewards for the questioners could be determined by the kids themselves.
Remember: We are not the Sage on the Stage but the Guide by the
Side-(Ghost of Madeline Hunter maybe--)
