Will people actually Freeze-n-Read on Saturday?  How will we know?  Does it matter?  What matters is libraries.  Will this make a difference?]]>Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:18:23 -0800http://freeze-n-read.weebly.com/1/post/2010/04/random-thoughts.htmlIn looking at "A Nation Without School Librarians" map, I saw that my alma mater is eliminating their library program this year.  I am so sad.
I am also sad that I cannot freely share our work on Freeze-n-Read 4 Libraries with my colleagues in our district.  When we returned from spring break, Weebly was blocked.  I have a number of websites (one has won an award) made with Weebly, so if this turns out to be permanent, I have lost the use of months of work.  I should find out tomorrow.
It was suggested that I set up a Flickr account for the pictures we hope will pour in on and after 4.17.10.  I'm working on it.  Flickr is definitely blocked in our district...but that may not matter now.  I'll keep you posted. :)]]>Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:02:33 -0800http://freeze-n-read.weebly.com/1/post/2010/04/google-shock.htmlI Googled Freeze-n-Read tonight and found SO MANY sites where people are promoting Freeze-n-Read 4 Libraries...thank you so much everyone!  I can't wait to see what happens with this!  Our hope is that we have an outpouring of participation, of course.  Regardless, this has been a wonderful learning experience for our staff.  ]]>Mon, 12 Apr 2010 03:56:31 -0800http://freeze-n-read.weebly.com/1/post/2010/04/thank-you-wesley-fryer.htmlWesley Fryer (Moving at the Speed of Creativity) supports Freeze-n-Read 4 Libraries!!!!  Read his excellent blog post here!
