After last week's school budget meeting, I feel it's more important than ever to get the word out about what we do. This article, sent out yesterday by Sara Kardasz, SSLMA president, explains why school librarians are even more important to students' learning in the digital age. And the comments are good reading also.
And here's the NY Times article referenced in the Forbes piece, which includes a great video of Rosalia, a NYC SLMS, in action. These lessons and concepts are very familiar to those of us teaching at the intermediate level, but it's validating to see it being hailed in the NY Times.

Oh, and hot off today's email, Sue Lercher sent this link:
