Am I missing something? I thought a link to the del.icio.us site that Linda Braun talked about would be here. I can find it in my notes, but a link might be helpful to others…

This summer reading workshop was a lot of fun. It also had some great ideas for programs for little or no cost. I really liked the smaller group.

Linda was an exceptional speaker! I just love her enthusiasm. There were several suggestions she made that I intend to try out. I had never given podcasts a thought before….interesting.

I called the Tang …
The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College http://tang.skidmore.edu
Contact persons are Ginger Ertz and Karen for the FREE Suitcase Program. This is a program where people from the Tang Museum come out to your library and do a program. The whole program fits in a suitcase. You can contact Ginger and Karen at (518) 580-5538 or jertz@skidmore.edu
Ginger is out until April 7th. She has not nailed down what the suitcase programs will exactly be. She did mention with Karen a program about insects.

Hello all, Wouldn’t it be fun to have a Catch the Bug day at your local Saratoga Barnes & Noble and maybe pay for your Summer Reading Program in the process, or make money to add more books to your libraries? Interested Call Crystal 518-583-7761
