GLMA NewsLeader Digest: August 2008

At the GLMA Summer Institute, a task force worked on the direction GLMA online communications should take for the future.  The task force suggested a more timely communication newsletter than the current quarterly newsletter.  In response to this suggestion, GLMA will now publish a monthly NewsLeader Digest on the GLMA blog.  This digest will provide timely notice of upcoming events and news.  The past NewsLeader newsletters will remain archived on the GLMA website.

 

Upcoming events:

August 29-30 Decatur Book Festival

September 21 – October 4 Banned Books Week

Tip of the Month

Help the new teachers in your school with a media newsletter outlining the services you provide and those little tips about the school that only a veteran knows.  Keep it simple and to the point so they can use it as a quick reference as they acclimate to your school.
