About Me:: I'm a 30 year veteran of school libraries in Canada, LIbya and, for the past 22 years, in Bangkok. I love the work but I'm in a quandry. I've had a life-long fascination with the evolution of information services and I'm WOWed by the accelerating pace of change, but I'm apprehensive about the future of traditional reading and literature.

I"m also passionate about our individual and collective responsibility to prepare today's children to be better stewards of the earth than previous generations have been.

Sounds good. I will plan to meet my kids at 10:30 my time (yes, should be 11:30 your time) on Monday. Let's not try for a Skype session just yet, but see if we might either get on the Ning concurrently, or perhaps you and I could Twitter. Even if we don't have too many kids yet on either side, we could establish a routine and build from that.

It was great meeting you in Shanghai. I will send out an inquiry email to HS students plus speak with a few key individuals who may be interested in the Writer's Group. Will you begin it next Monday at 10:30 your time (11:30 my time?) I will write back within a couple days and let you know if I have people interested.

Talk to you soon,
Mary Alice
