Knowledge Quest, v41 n2 p14-17 Nov-Dec 2012
In this article, the author shares a story that one would tell his/her colleagues at a district professional-development meeting in his/her efforts to inspire them to move from good to great. He considers the careers of three school librarians in one school district--Amy, Brady, and Cindy--who ended up becoming strong, resourceful leaders for their school librarian colleagues and inspiring the creation of new personal learning networks (PLNs) that reached worldwide. There are many personal-enrichment resources are at one's fingertips with the help of AASL and ALA.
