cara delia replied to Sue Fitzgerald's discussion Faculty Book Discussion Club"This sounds like an awesome idea! I think as teachers and educators we forget how important it is to work together and collaborate. What better way to open up a line of communtication. If you can't relate to someone on a personal level its…"

Kathleen Vetter replied to Sue Fitzgerald's discussion Faculty Book Discussion Club"Great ideas for your book club! I, too, took on a new library position this year, but I never got around to the book club. After reading your post, I wish I had!

- What is the name of your school?
- I moved to the Dallas, Texas area in 2009 after spending the last fourteen years as the high school librarian at Dorman High School in Roebuck, South Carolina. It was sad to leave such a great school but I was fortunate to quickly find another librarian position in Dallas. During my second year in north Texas, I took a library position closer to home in a small middle school and love the opportunities of helping this community emerge into the 21st Century.

Hey! I've been looking over the requirements for my SLIS Student Internship that will begin shortly. I will be working with Sally Hursey at the BSH 9th Grade Campus but will need to visit at least three other LMC's this coming semester. I am hoping that I will be able to come to Dorman and see your beautiful facility!

- Sounds like you have been a busy little beaver on your days off! I have worked on my 720 paper and a presentation I am doing for the English teachers at my internship school. I was supposed to be there Monday and Tuesday so now am going to have to reschedule those days. I'll be in touch mid-month if I am going to be able coming to visit your LMC.

- "Highly qualified" per Texas law means that you have passed the Texas certification exam or otherwise meet the NCLB "highly qualified" definition.
- At 9:33pm on March 5, 2009,
- If you have maintained your certification (check online at www.tea.state.tx.us) you are already highly qualified. You can go to the TLA website at www.txla.org and join the TLC mailing list for school librarians and you will hear of job openings. Marilyn Beaird is the library coordinator at Lewisville ISD (which includes Flower Mound, Highland Village, The Colony and several other smaller towns) and she will know of upcoming vacancies.
