Jo Hick from Phillips is trying a new tactic this year to get teachers to pay attention to the resources available at the library. She created a flyer talking about the advantages of the MORE system, inviting teachers to bring their class to the library, or to have her come in and give book talks, and opening up discussions of partnerships. Then she sent copies over to the school to be distributed to teachers, along with a MORE brochure. And to encourage teachers to open up her message, she included a chocolate (I know they are tasty because she sent me a sample). Fun idea!
