School Librarian's Institute Off To Good Start.
We kicked off our course, School Librarian’s Institute, at the University of Alaska Consortium Library. A beautiful new facility. Alice Yucht, nationally known instructor at Rutger’s University in the Library Science Departmenet, past school librarian, not to mention many other hats, is our main speaker for the week. Lots of valuable suggestions and ideas for promoting what we do and how we can assist our library community. She’s very upbeat and throws in lots of humor. A natural story teller. Sue Sherif set the course up. It’s always a plus whenever Sue takes part. She’s a wealth of knowledge. It’s great having time to learn from other Alaskan librarians in the trenches. Great putting the faces to many of the names as well. Time for bed! I’ve been up since 6:00 and it’s close to midnight. Have a little more reading to do before the light can go out. Tomorrow I’ll try to take some pictures of class.
