Most of us enjoy a happy ending. Something like:
Librarian gets hired.
Librarian upsets the Director and is given book drop duty as an "opportunity".
Librarian saves Director's assets, and becomes the new Director (in waiting).

At the Friday, October 9th at 8am COMO Meeting of the GLA School Division, there
is a happy ending story - a lemons-to-lemonade kind of tale,
replete with students not aware that they are yearning to learn,
a media specialist yearning for a little quiet in the classroom,
and an administration that discovers that teaching Research is a good idea.

Also, Dr. Judi Repman from Georgia Southern University will report on last week's
7th Annual Georgia Conference on Information Literacy held in Savannah.

And, reporting on the AASL Learning4Life Conference held in Chicago last July
including the book resources distributed to the participants, such as
Standards for the 21st-Century Learner in Action (isbn 978-0-8389-8507-6).

Please plan to join us.
