get-attachmentThe two days I spent at the VaASL conference filled my mind with so many new ideas and understandings about the impact that a school librarian can make on learning in the school.  Paige Jaeger’s remarks inspired me to strive for a higher standard for myself because my work with students can make the difference in preparing them to participate in society as literate citizens.  There were so many interesting sessions that it was difficult to choose which one to attend.  I learned about new books as well as how to use old standards in new and exciting ways.  The technology sessions revealed lots of great ways to use tools to improve instruction both in the library and throughout the school.  Walking around the vendor area helped me better understand the resources that I can utilize to strengthen my collection.  One of the best parts of the conference was spending time with my Longwood classmates!
