CMLE provides library support services to 319 academic, public, K-12 and special libraries in twelve counties of Central Minnesota. One of our biggest challenges is assessing both the interest and needs of so many different types of librarians/organizations.
Please watch your email for messages from us with a subject line “Quick Question.” These messages will include an easy link to a very short poll on Survey Monkey. We will always ask you to identify your library type first, then will ask a few, very quick questions. Promise, no more than that. Thanks in advance for participating in each poll as quickly as possible!
Feel free to contact me if you have questions, concerns or suggestions (papost@stcloudstate.edu)
Since 1996, poetry and poets have shared the spotlight during the nation-wide celebration of libraries in the month of April. Poets.org provides a repository of poems, interesting facts and even additional resources to assist in the development of classroom curriculum for students, grades 7 -10.
Through April 30th, the Board of Chancellors from the Academy of American Poets is encouraging students to read poetry by participating in the Dear Poet Project. This program provides an opportunity for students to read published works by American poets and then write to the author to talk about their work.
This month highlight poetry and help broaden readership. Who know, maybe even embolden a future poet!

Read Edudemic’s post listing the top 10 hot topics discussed by these front-line classroom educators. These trends should be of interest to K-12, college, and public librarians alike!
