Lemons to Lemonade



I've certainly got the back to school pit in my stomach...but this year is different. I will be pushing in, embedding, going virtual, traveling to 6 schools (as all of our students have been relocated to 6 different schools in the District for the renovation time). I've always worked hard to be "everywhere" and this year, that concept takes on a whole new meaning.

So, I will be sharing library space at 5 of our existing schools and there is no formula for how this collaboration/co-existence will work or look. I will have a "base camp" at the 7th grade school--not really a library--more like a "library-ette" that is about the same size space that college freshmen are using to sharing with their first roommate.

Unchartered waters? Oh my, yes. Unanswered questions? By the hundreds. Uncertainty about what will work and how? But, of course.

Unlimited opportunities for turning lemons to lemonade? Sure are, and I plan to do everything in my power to lead the way and "Move with Impact"!

Oh yeah, and I bought a bookmobile. She makes her grand opening appearance Thursday....more to follow on that!

Twas the night before school starts...

Yes, ALL summer I said I would reconnect with my blog....all summer and I DID put it on my to do lists, I DID ponder it, I DID agonize over it...I did NOT however, do anything about it...so here we go...
