Food & good conversation: a winning combination

Last night a group of school librarians met at Cafe Maya in Fishkill. Needless to say, we filled several hours with good Mexican fare with non-stop talk about --- what else? Our libraries, our work as librarians, our concerns, our successes, our dreams and plans. Shout outs to Karen, Edna, Jessica, Rebecca, and Lynn for joining several SLMSSENY board members for our second annual event at this local eatery. A good time was had by all.

Just for fun...

Some of you may have already seen these, either by clicking the links in a friend's facebook post, or as they originally aired on The Colbert Report last week, but I just wanted to share Stephen Colbert's two-part interview with Maurice Sendak. I'm not the only one who thinks it is hilarious; and Maurice has a lot of interesting things to say about the children's book market these days and ebooks among other things. Enjoy!
