Back On My Square

Books Turned Back In After The Fall Intersession Break

It's been 6 months since I've posted to MissDomino.   You can just say, I've been busy, BUSY!  During this time, I've had some wonderful experiences that were thought provoking and life changing.  These 'epiphanies' will be shared with you within the next couple of weeks.  Since April, so much as happened in the world of Libraries/Books/Technology:

1. G. Neri wins the 2011 Coretta Scott King Honor Award for his release, "Yummy:  The Last Days of a Southside Shorty"

2. Wahida Clark's debut of her new teen series, "Wahida Clark Presents Young Adult"

3. Michael Cart's release of, "Young Adult Literature:  From Romance to Realism"

4. Earl Sewell does it again with his sixth release in the Keysha series called, "Mya's Choice"

5. Chicago Public Library Librarians and Supporters fight against library cuts

6. A new petition to the Obama Administration ensuring all school libraries are properly staffed, open and available for children every day.

7. finally....will iPads outnumber desktop computers in schools by 2016??? 

I think you would all agree, much has happened.  The one thing that hasn't changed is how busy I am at Wendell Phillips Academy High School and my commitment to servicing my teen patrons.  As I always say, "Power to the people, and Power to the Books."
