GEN: Thanks for Memorial Ideas

[Marilyn Mille Beaird <mmb0004@JOVE.ACS.UNT.EDU>]

The response for Memorial Ideas for a deceased teacher was
overwhelmingly for books to be placed in the library and in Memory of
the Teacher.

Last year (my first year in a library) I had each teacher fill out a
form stating their favorite children's author, favorite professional
book and a book that was by their nightstand right at the moment.  I
used these throughout the year in my monthly newsletter to "spotlight"
a teacher.  As I was going through them again, I re-read the one filled
out by the deceased teacher so we will be dedicating a space in the
Library for books written by her favorite author.  She had also
mentioned to me this past summer the name of a storyteller she wished
could visit our school so we have invited him and we will make it a
"Literacy Day" in Honor, in Memory and in Celebration of her love of
children and literature.

Thanks for your suggestions.
