Re: [LM_NET] OT: Why we do what we do

[Linda Martin <lindamartin423@GMAIL.COM>]

Thank you all for the kind words.  This has been a rough week, in general.
By last night I was a blithering idiot.  This is a link to the local news
story about the fire: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/23024111/detail.html

Thankfully, I am on the way to Long Island in 3 hours for spring break,
family, and (maybe) a little rest.  I appreciate you all in ways you can't
imagine.

"It is more than ironic that school districts are willing to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars on reading programs and staff development which
*have had limited success* in boosting test scores, but are unwilling to
invest in school library programs that show direct correlations <

~ Douglas Achterman,  2008 Study of California School Libraries
