New Year's Resoultion

If individuals can create a New Year's Resolution, a declaration of hopes and goals, why not then a library? 

2015 will be the year of the reader

• A year for book introductions, book trailers, and book talks

• A year of book discoveries and embraces

• A year of bated breath until the next in the series appears.

2015 will be the year of good beginnings

• A year of repeated rounds of rock paper scissors to see whose hand touched the last copy of the most desired book first

• A year of wide eyed reading and nods of recognition as we hold hands with the story through each trial and every success.

2015 will be the year of diverse reading

• A year for a Kodachrome of characters to take hold of our shelves, our libraries and our hearts.  
• A year for diligence in providing books that represent all of the readers who grace our hallways and for those who are yet to come

2015 will be a year of creation

• A year for open spaces and opportunities to make your own meaning
• A year for suggestions of "Try it!  Let's see what happens."

2015 will be a year of connections

• A year for fostering conversations across the tables and collaboration beyond a single classroom. 
• A year for seeking out fellow learners in our schools, outside our cities and around the world.

So here is to 2015! May it be a wondrous page turner for each and every one of us!
