Where has the time gone?

What, Christmas and Valentine's Day have already passed? Where have I been? Well let me tell you. This has been my year of presentations, everywhere, on a variety of subjects. So I have been talking, just not to you. But I'm back and ready for conversation.
So many people are talking about Common Core being an opportunity for school librarians to take a leadership role, I am wondering what you think about that? Are you finding that teachers are coming to you for help? Do you know where to find great nonfiction texts that meet the diverse needs of their students?  And most importantly, are you keeping up with the technology your students are experts of?
These are are areas I am struggling through; 21st century learning, a place for books and literature, keeping students engaged and teachers supported, and meeting my own professional development needs.
Over the next few weeks I will delve into these topics, with more questions than answers, and hope you will join me with your own ideas and together we can create a professional learning network.
