<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Yesterday afternoon I attended an excellent
<b>webinar</b> called <b>The Common Core and the Public Librarian: Reaching Patrons and Students</b>. It was sponsored by AASL, and the presenters were Margaux DelGuidice & Kathryn Roots Lewis, school librarian in New York and Oklahoma, respectively. This is

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:blue"> Discover how public and school librarians can work together to implement the Common Core State Standards in their school community. Participants learn about the<br>
Common Core State Standards, discover resources to help public librarians understand and use the CCSS, and identify the ways public librarians can support school<br>
librarians and patrons in navigating these standards. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

links to brochures for parents, and much more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
