But first, a contest

Having just returned from the Washington Library and Media Association's conference, I am looking at this fall semester with a new outlook toward improving library service in La Conner. This blog is the first step - it's my plan to create a semi-frequent news and information update for the district. As things change, find the details here. Want more change? Leave me a comment below.

The kick-off event for this change is a contest. We've been busy bringing in lots of new titles for teens, and simply can't read them all fast enough. So, in the hopes of getting some authentic opinions, I am inviting middle and high school readers to check out, read and review new books. For each completed review of a new book, the reader will be entered into a prize drawing. Every other month, we'll hold the drawing for some tasty prize. The reviews then will be laminate and displayed with the books, so that students can find out what other readers recommend.

Check back here around Thanksgiving and we'll announce our first prize winners. If we build enough interest, we'll save up for a big grand-prize for the end of the school year.

Welcome to the La Conner School District Blog

Welcome! This blog has been created as one avenue for communicating the goings on in our district libraries. Look here to find new books, events, and links to research pathfinders, among other news and information.

Please feel free to leave me a note with any requests, ideas, or thoughts you'd like to share.

See you in the library!
