WLMA Cookies and books
You are warmly invited to join with Seattle area independent and pubic school teacher-librarians for a casual get-together. We'll get to know each other, share what's working in our libraries, and enjoy each other's company. Please bring along some favorite titles to talk about, and come prepared to eat chocolate chip cookies.
