Thought you might be interested in seeing the monthly calendars that we publish for
school librarians and classroom teachers. We publish an elementary (K-5) and
secondary (6-12) calendar. Educators may subscribe to receive these calendars as
direct emails or they may choose to download them from the web. If you find these
calendars helpful, please feel free to use them in your library and share them with
your teachers.
Go to http://scschoollibraries.pbworks.com and look for the link for Monthly
Reading Calendars. The August 2010 calendar is available and the September calendar
will be published before the end of August.

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.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Bell
