"I am super excited to learn about both high tech and low tech ways to promote literature. 
I feel that over the years, I lost myself and my students with the primary focus always being on research.  I want to go back to book talks and making library enjoyable (again). 
Thank you for your inspiration!" - CARA LAUBER, LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALIST
