MSLA Region: Metrowest
Welcome Back to School!
Congratulations for "weathering" through the beginning of the school year! We hope you are getting settled in your role as school librarians, and are ready to help you with your needs. This year, we welcome Maria D'Orsi as Co-Area Director for MetroWest. Maria is in the Medford High School, so we have another destination for possible meetings! Speaking of that - we'd again like to encourage our members to host a meeting (we take care of the snacks!) In this way, we hope to give a wider opportunity for people to make an Area meeting. Our first plan is to meet in October and go over information about Advocacy, the upcoming conference, and whatever your needs may be. We also have Gale database representatives as potential speakers. Let us know what you like and what would benefit your professional needs! |

So what's NEW in YOUR library???
We'd love to share what you're doing and what makes you happy this year! At Millis Middle/High School, this "reading area" includes two new chairs, with its own built-in charger and plug. Plus we are setting up a charging station nearby, so those iPads, laptops and phones can be kept 'ready to go'! |
We also rearranged our graphic novel area, which is growing each month!
To make room for all the graphic series, we labelled the book dividers -- gave us more space! A senior created the chess board table, which is also used on a daily basis. Share what you're doing, as well! |
