[CALIBK12] Calisphere and CTAPIV

[SIMINITUS, JACQUELYN E (ATTPB)]

Kathleen,
Your CALISPHERE project looks great.  
I'm sharing it with California school librarians and friends.  
Too bad LMTs outside the CTAP4 region of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin,
Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Solano counties don't qualify!  
 
Best wishes to you and your team.
- Jackie

Hi Jackie, (cc Linda and Bonnie),

I'm writing to let you know about an upcoming opportunity for LMT's with
a district or school team in the CTAP4 region.

We thought you might help get the word out to just our seven bay area
county LMT's who did not yet get the message.  See our message below.

Thanks in advance for your support
Kathleen
