Hi, I recently heard about penny polls on another library listserv. We are thinking about having one in support of our library scholarship. We want to do a poll: Facebook v. Twitter. Audience is high school students. I'm looking for tips and suggestions, display ideas, signage, any logistical advice as well. ThanksSee More

What are people doing for BBW? Our high school would like to do a reading flash mob of some kind, details to TBD, but we want it slightly subversive and disruptive. Has anyone done flash mobs in schools? If so, any suggestions, especially the logistical kind are welcome!See More

I love how you added photos and they're on a slide show! That's really cool. I'll have to figure out how to add that.
Have a great day!

- These are the fairs/organizations to look into: ISS, Search Associates, and TIE. They offer fairs and resources to finding a job overseas. It's awesome. I'm in my 12th year of it. Let me know if you want any other tidbits about this gig:)

Greetings Elaine,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.
If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen

Mansfield University Scholarship Program – Begin in January 2012
In an ongoing effort to recruit a new generation of school library leaders, Mansfield University recently received a fifth Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) grant to fund scholarships for its totally online School Library & Information Technologies Master of Education degree program with school library certification. If you know of an educator or non-certified librarian seeking school library certification, please pass along the news that we are still accepting applications for the spring 2012 semester.
The Master of Education program, ideally suited for working educators
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification. For detailed information and contacts please refer to the Fulfilling the Promise homepage, at http://libweb.mansfield.edu/promise/, or contact Cynthia Keller, Department Chair ckeller@mansfield.edu
