Welcome to the Washington Library Media Association Wiki

This is one of our first steps at online collaboration, so please read, enjoy, and contribute.

There are four pages, Elementary, Middle School, High School, Adult Reads too to be found using the Table of Contents on the right.

Barbara Stolzenburg:	I'm excited about this ability to share online. I've discovered two resources I believe can be useful for all of us to encourage reading and reaching out to our global community. www.librarything.com allows you to record all the books you have read, tag them with subject tags and make comments or reviews. You can see how many other librarything users have read a book, as well as view their comments/reviews should they have marked them public. You can log up to 200 books free. There is a small fee after that. The other site is www.bookcrossing.com. It allows you to give a book a bookcrossing #. The object is to leave the book as a gift for whoever might pick it up. The finder will read the bookcrossing note and possibly log the book on the bookcrossing site as well as log that it is released when they leave it to pass it on to others. The books are then tracked on the site-and you can see where your gift book is traveling. Thanks to the WLMA members for creating such a solid organization to support education for our state!
Mike Cullum:	I would echo the thanks to WLMA for starting this wiki. Now if we can get everyone to follow it by subscribing with RSS and adding that tool to your online resource skill kit it would be even better! ;^)
Anonymous:	I am very out of the blog and wiki loop, but am very thankful and not at all surprised WLMA is helping us out on this arena! Looking forward to see how this all works and what I can learn from colleagues.
