"Teacher banned for using book"

My husband just pointed this out to me today. Watch the entire video because it states that although the book is allowed in the library, it is not allowed to be used in the classroom...go figure!

Anyway, Joan Bauer would be proud of this teacher. Have you read her new book, Peeled?

Updating name

Consideration to change our name to:
Independent Catholic Library Association of the Washington, DC Metro Area.


Please respond to this blog, asap, as we are having a new logo designed.

FYI: Children's book in German

For those interested, there is a highlighted picture book in German on the International Children's Digital Library:
Waldo, tell me about Christ by Hans Wilhelm

"Waldo the dog explains to Michael the nature of Jesus Christ and helps him come to understand that Christ is his best friend and will be with him forever."

It may be a nice way to end the year - through sharing this international literature.
