Garra Jeni Jill Here is the URL to the Glog I made. It is basically a themed invite to our library with rhyming phrases that detail some of out objectives. Take a look and se what you think. Garra []

Here is a Wordle I made for our library. I am not sure where we want it. What do you think? [|http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/4522972/%40PlanetSeussLibrary] I put it on the blog, but I'm not sure if that's the best place. I was thinking it would be part of our advocacy campaign, since it describes many of the functions/focuses of the library. It could be used on the blog and additional places, just one spot, or not at all. Whatever you ladies think is fine with me. I love the way it turned out! Lets put it as the header on the Collaboration Station Page of the TWU WIKI. This is the 3rd page and will work great there! Garra

Library Mission statement: The purpose of this library is to support 21st Century teaching and learning.

I really love this! I don't know of any part of it that needs to be changed - what do you guys think??? I agree. It speaks for itself! Thanks, Jeni. this is my personal library mission statement. No, I am not a librarian yet. I have been working ahead, planning what I want to build into my library when I am finally there. This contains bits and pieces from dozens of others I have read plus what is important to me. But please adapt as you and Garra see fit!
