Good afternoon and happy Friday! I just wanted to take a moment to give a public shout-out to Britta Santamauro from Chase Collegiate and Stephanie Patterson of Southington High Schools. I’ve never met either of them, but  both of these ladies were kind and generous in allowing me to interrupt their day, by giving me a tour of their libraries. I truly got some great ideas in my quest to turn my space in to a Learning Commons. Stephanie also invited me in to a class that she was co-teaching and shared some great materials that I will delve in to over the break! Thank you again, ladies!

PS – I have had people tell me that they have had too many emails from this list-serve. I say , just delete what you don’t need. For me, it has been a “priceless” resource!
