[CASL-L] CT Librarian recipient of 2018 I Love My Librarian Award

[Jessica-Lynn Johnson]

Congratulations Linda!

I had the pleasure of being in the same session as Linda at a three-day
workshop at Teacher's College and she was absolutely lovely.  After sharing
some of my struggles, she offered her contact information and an armload of
strategies for me to try.  She extended her time and ideas to a stranger
and her dedication to our field was evident.  Very well deserved.
