Hi Megan - I was going to send you a resounding no and also ask when you might have
time, but then I saw you were a High School Media Specialist and I'm elementary so
I wasn't sure. Then I read Vicki's post and she mentions all of the reasons I
would give. Unless you are reading to prep for a lesson, that time is for lesson
planning and collaboration. I think even just walking around your building talking
with colleagues, seeing if anyone needs your help with tech or whatever, or even
working on your next book order would each be a much better use of your time!
