I'm in!  Would love to connect to more middle school peeps.  The Roundtables are tough because they are during the day and that requires a PD day and a sub and it's just a giant pain in the tushie.

Good morning all!

I had a great time at CASL yesterday. I realize I didn't get to connect to as many middle school LMSs as I'd like! We have a few pathdays coming up for TEVAL, and I'm looking to visit other libraries- specifically middle school. If you'd like to host me for a few hours, or chat with me about your library collection/plans I'm happy to absorb new information.

The other thing- Shannon McNeice and I were talking about middle school librarians having some sort of round table at a brewery/place to chill, possibly in late November/December? Is anyone up for that, this isjust gaging interest.

Thanks,
