Edmonds District Librarian's Meeting @ LDE

The librarians in the district met at Lynndale Elementary on Thur., Dec. 11. The library is the "home" of Kris Galante, former WCCPBA chair. It's always fun to visit Kris' library because it is so warm and friendly. She always has great books on display. We discussed some really important topics.

Book Repair: John Marino lead a discussion on book repair tips. I was amazed at how talented everyone was. Most of my damaged books become discards, because I figure the time & cost of supplies wasn't worth saving the book. I learned how to repair ripped pages, pre-cover paperbacks, and reinforce spines. Now I have to try some of the ideas.

Reading Promotion: Kris told us about a family reading program she has done at her school. It's inspired me to think about doing something this spring. It's been a few years since I've done "Books for Breakfast."

Asst. Supt: Our Assistant Supt. for Teaching & Learning, Tony Byrd, introduced himself and fielded questions about assessments, textbook adoption, and curriculum.
