It was a great presentation by Library Service TOSA Susan Stone and a really great turnout.
It is very encouraging to hear somebody begin to articulate a comprehensive vision for at least one part of PPS.
Plus, there’s nothing like being in a room full of librarians. When they talk about equity, there’s no mistaking that they “get it.”

Equity would be good. It would also be good to have some money to replace the hundreds of books taken from our library in May and discarded…with what seemed to be no rhyme or reason…for this new library initiative… Some of them brand new books. We had some mighty unhappy teachers in our school.
