[CALIBK12] Best YA Books Fresno Conference

[Blanche Woolls]

This sounds like a great place to take yourself AND your principal or 
vice-principal, even if you have to invest $400 in both. It should be tax 
deductable because it is an education expense and a donation to the 
education of your administrator and it should get you a second sandbag in 
the break in the levee. Sometimes you have to do extraordinary things to 
make a point.

Wish we could get Julie Andrews to come to a meeting of school librarians 
to talk about the value of libraries. She was at ALA. Maybe we should 
figure out how to get her to do something NOW!

Given what sounds like a renewed interest in teaching language arts through good literature, I think it is a good use of staff development funds.
