Greetings,

I hope your school year has gotten off to a great start!  I’m excited to begin another year, not only as a school librarian, but as the president of NHSLMA.  We have a terrific group of dedicated board members are looking forward to continuing to build upon the mission of our organization:

NHSLMA empowers librarians in New Hampshire schools to build
effective school library programs.   

The board alone can not carry forward this charge; our objective is to create a framework to provide members with opportunities to share and grow professionally.   As your opening days settle into a daily routine, I hope you will consider participating in one or more ways:

• Sign up to participate in a regional group which will be coordinated this year by board member Karen Landsman.  
  
• Be on the lookout for the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference brochure. We are excited to announce Anita Cellucci, 2016 SLJ Librarian of the Year finalist will be our luncheon speaker on Thursday.  
  
• Share or ask questions on Twitter with the #nhslma hashtag - include #tlchat to reach a wider audience.  The feed will be curated by a different member each month so make sure you are a follower.  
  
• Let me know if you’d like to write a blog post on a topic and be profiled on the NHSLMA website.  We hope to bring you at least two a month.  
  
• Update your contact information in the NHSLMA directory and include a picture.
  
• Send an email to the listserv with something that worked well or a problem that's got you stumped.
  
• Attend a board meeting held the third Thursday of every month 4:30 - 6:30, PSU campus, Concord, NH.
