I join Juanita in applauding the "young ladies" in our outstanding profession!
Yesterday afternoon I spent an hour at Iseley Elementary in Belle Aire (north of Wichita) celebrating the Wm. Allen White Awards program with children at the request of Iseley's librarian Nicole Thomsen. Nicole had organized the hour as well as she'd organized her new library, and I was especially impressed with the obvious instruction which was occuring in the beautiful new space with the help of her fellow librarian Andrea Brainard.
As I drove home, I reflected on the future of school librarianship. Young ladies like Nicole and Andrea as well as our 2012 Advocacy winners give me hope--and make me proud. I'm also proud of the role we "oldies" and KASL can play in supporting our younger counterparts. (Keep up the good work, "oldies"--I see plenty of great work in your libraries too!)
Best wishes to all~
