>
>June is almost here and that means the end of the school year for many 
>schools in the Northern Hemisphere. Like many of my colleagues here, this 
>is a busy time for me with inventory and getting three school libraries 
>settled before the end of the school year.  Therefore, this will most 
>likely be one of the last ISLD update before the IASL conference in 
>Lisbon.  I hope to see many of you at the Poster Session at the conference.
>
>1)  The draft letter to send to Ministry of Education officials in your 
>area that I mentioned in the last update is now available on the ISLD 
>website.  Please visit 
><http://www.iasl-slo.org/sldresources.html>http://www.iasl-slo.org/sldresources.html
> 
>to access the letter for downloading.
>
>2) ISLD 2006 materials are available for downloading on the ISLD website 
><http://www.iasl-slo.org/sldresources.html>http://www.iasl-slo.org/sldresources.html.
> 
>These materials include:
>- bookmarks
>- ISLD logo to include on any promotional materials
>
>3) The bookmark project just completed the first round of matching 
>schools.  So far we have 21 pairs of schools matched.  There are still 
>schools looking for a partner school for this activity.  It is not too 
>late to get involved!  Contact 
><mailto:rmulholland@shaw.ca>rmulholland@shaw.ca to be included.  Visit 
><http://www.iasl-slo.org/isld2006.html>http://www.iasl-slo.org/isld2006.html 
>for more details.

>4)  Once again, Cherie Sherley's Email Around the World Project will be in 
>action.  See 
><http://www.iasl-slo.org/isld2006.html>http://www.iasl-slo.org/isld2006.html 
>for more details.
>
>5) A teacher-librarian forwarded me an idea for promotion of ISLD either 
>in your own school or perhaps across your district.
>
>In the fall the library is going to sponsor a READ poster 
>contest.  Students will be encouraged to create a poster with an image of 
>themselves holding their favourite book.
>
>Thank you to Donna DesRoches of Canada for sending this idea.  If you have 
>an idea that you would like to share with others, please forward them to 
>me (<mailto:rmulholland@shaw.ca>rmulholland@shaw.ca) and I will pass them on.
>
>Happy planning,
>
>Cheers,
>Rick
