Please bear with us until Dallas ISD unblocks & corrects our problem.
Thanks,

We are having some technical issues getting the website to display at school. Our site is "live" at home and on 3G.
Please bear with us until Dallas ISD unblocks & corrects our problem. Thanks, Mrs. W After polling the students for about a week the results are as follows for a student top 5 wish list to order for the library:
1. Twilight series 2. Rangers Apprentice series 3. Dragon Ball Z 4. Fablehaven series 5. Inheritance series (Eragon) *sigh* I guess that means I need to read Twilight this summer before I think about ordering it. Rangers Apprentice and Eragon, we have one from each series to start with so I may look at completing those series next since it would be a partial order. Then I will consider Twilight, Dragon Ball Z, & Fabelhaven for this next fall. Thanks for your input! I am at TLA Wed.-Fri. this week and am picking up SO many books and Advance Reading Copies (a.k.a. ARCs) to bring back and share with students! ARCs are advance copies of books that are sent out or put out for review before titles are published. So, I am getting some things that are so hot of the press they aren't even published yet!
I am looking at developing a section for 7th and 8th grade students over the summer and hope to use some of the books I am getting now to help out in that collection. I am really keeping an eye out for titles that will appeal to that age group. I am also considering a schedule change to the library next year to accommodate more middle school usage of the library. Ok, short and sweet post...Elliott is about to wake up :0) see you next week, with loads of books! ~Mrs. W PS~ twitter hashtag is #txla11 if you want to see what the librarians are tweeting about in Austin or follow my personal account @kareberrie Great article in support of libraries published a couple of weeks ago by te Chron.
