Professional development/nonfiction. A compilation of various projects completed by academic, school and public libraries. Really good ideas in here:

* License to Learn contest (p. 46-47) takes library card drive a step further, with schools earning "Honor Roll" status by inviting lib. staff to school events, linking to library on school website, displaying lib. materials, and participating in at least one library card drive. HR schools are rewarded with certificates, names are displayed on posters inside the library, and school boards are notified of schools' achievements.

* Library shows on public-access TV (p. 85) - on a smaller scale, how about getting high school TV production class to do a few shows on site?

* Find schools and orgs that provide services to pregnant/parenting teens and work with them (p. 52)

* Books that shape our lives (p. 95): solicit input from community, post their fave childhood books to bulletin board/display. (some responses even shared by principal over school PA system)

* Storytime outreach (SPL - p. 155) Used Target $2500 grand to give free picture books to 100 children in subsidized daycare (ARC service area). Storytimes conducted in spanish and english with parents attending [M. Keys:]

Other Early Lit grants: CSL, Barb. Bush Foundation, Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, Nat'l Inst. for Literacy.

* Favorite teachers host summer story hours (guest reader storytime) (p. 60). 6-8 teachers volunteer to read 30-40 min./week; coordinate with school media teacher to recruit from emails of all school district employees (early spring); participants receive some kind of thank you gift such as handmade card, small giftcard. Some ST's followed by activity/craft, but not always.

* Artist in residence (p. 172) bookbinding, puppetry, paper-making. Grants for this as well.

Obviously I've spent too much time in libraries because most of my reaction to this book was "HAHAHAHAHAHA" and an array of sarcastic, cynical comments.

Excelente. Diversidad de casos poco discutidos.

Essays outline important topics to consider as retirement approaches, such as creating priorities, financial planning, applying for Medicare, and the emotional and mental shifts one faces. Although several years from my own retirement, this certainly has given me food for thought.
