LET'S GET IT STARTED

Okay, here we go. I have been wanting to begin a blog for my students at MLE for a year now. I'm finally brave enough to begin and venture out to the blogging world.

One of my main goals for this blog is for it to be used a tool to communicate with students about books, library 'wonders', and all the other reasons one may use this blog.
