[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Middle School Libraries - Reopening

[Crean, Sue]

I just ordered paper backs with handles from WB Mason. I’m going to either
provide a google form or have them email a book request. I’ll put in bag,
write their name on it and give to teacher or put in mailbox.  That’s the
plan. I think the trick is going to be getting word out about new books or
maybe offering a service where they can give me ideas about the type of
book and I send them 2 choices.
It will be a challenge!

*You have plenty of courage, I am sure," answered Oz. "All you need is
confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it
faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and
that kind of courage you have in plenty.  - L. Frank Baum*
