Dear LM_NET colleagues: In the past I tried to offer my own library/classroom holiday calendar, but I just did not have the resources to keep up with it. So instead, I have created a page on my Alphamarks site that shares a number of links that should help most librarians and teachers be aware of special holidays. The url for this is : http://virtuallrc.com/alphamarks/cgi-bin/ibview.pl?fld=Holidays+/+Awareness+Days&usr=generalities "When you use it, please make sure that the URL is an unbroken string." I hope this helps you as you begin a new academic year.
