$5,00.00 thinkfinity and Allison Zmuda CHALLENGE

Thinfinity  
$5,000 for your library!
Thank you for your interest in the AASL Thinkfinity Zmuda Challenge, introduced at the AASL President's Program held during the ALA 2010 Annual Conference!

We are offering two $5,000 incentive awards for the two most innovative ideas on how school librarians can help students acquire 21st-Century Skills. We have asked school librarians to post their ideas as a reply to the Thinkfinity Community AASL Thinkfinity Zmuda Challenge discussion by July 15, 2010. After that time, AASL will select the winning idea and notify two winning entrants. The winners must each complete a grant application before receiving the $5,000 award.

Note that winners are not asked to implement their idea with the $5,000; instead, the incentive can be used to acquire resources for their school or school library.

ALA 2010 Washington D C

What an experience! I'm typing in red, as it was a scorcher everyday that we were in Washingto D.C.
I was in DC three years ago heat advisory then as well. Okay sorry--my fault.
The conference was overwhelming. (Yes, I believe we need a Therapy room where newbies are patted on the back and assured, "...its okay to not have gone to all the sessions!"

I attend several sessions, affiliates meeting, conference planning meetings. Pssst 2011 National Convention in Mpls in October 2010 is going to be awesome.


This was my
favorite team in the Demco bookcart drill team. Their precision moves and clever choreography was a huge hit. It was great fun! All the teams were fun to watch.

Under the lintel one man play at Mixed Blood

I highly recommend this new play, Under the Lintel written by Greg Berger with a librarian as the main character. It stars Pat O'brien and is now playing at Mixed Blood Theatre. It is a one man show. Very Funny, poignant and soul stirring. See the promo below Go see it, you'll love it

The Pat O’Brien’s Vanity Theatrics production
of Glen Berger’s award winning play

Underneath the Lintel

A recluse librarian’s mundane little life is transformed when he discovers a one hundred and twenty three years overdue book. Notes scribbled in the book lead to clue upon clue that compel the librarian on a world wide quest for the mysterious borrower. …And the meaning of life.
