[CASL-L] SCHOOL LIBRARIES: WHAT’S NOW, WHAT’S NEXT, WHAT’S YET TO COME: Free e-book now available!

[Sara Kelley-Mudie]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the over 50 authors who contributed to *School Libraries:
What’s Now, What’s Next, What’s Yet to Come*, we are delighted to announce
that our crowdsourced eBook is now available for free download! I'm so proud
to be part of this collection along with so many dedicated, passionate
librarians from around the country and the world.

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/96705

We hope you will enjoy downloading and reading these diverse perspectives on
where school libraries are and what school librarians are doing to redefine,
stretch, and expand traditional services.

Please feel free to share this link with your colleagues, administrators,
professional and union organizations, Board of Education members, and more.
Help us spread the word and build the conversation about the possibilities
of school libraries!

We have it available for free download in three formats:

   - PDF for those who want to read it on a desktop/laptop
   - .mobi for those who want to read it on Kindle software or a Kindle
   device
   - .epub for those who would like to read it on Adobe Digital Editions
   software, iBooks, Sony Reader, the Bluefire Reader app, Nook, and most other
   eReaders



While you can find the eBook on Smashwords now; in about 2-6 weeks,
Smashwords will send it out to the major eBookstores (including Apple’s
iBookstore, Barnes and Noble, Sony Bookstore, and others, although Amazon is
in negotations) for free distribution.
