A library must reflect what is best in a community and reach out  to all people. If citizens are to safeguard civil liberties, elect wise officials, make sense of the news and negotiate public policy with other citizens in an ever more diverse society-libraries must be strong.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening to you all.  I hope this email finds you well.

 

Happy International Literacy Day!!

 

I want to welcome new subscribers who have signed on in the past couple of months we now have a total of 715 subscribers on this List.

 

To start off September, I want to ask you what types of topics that you would like to see us discuss here on the Assessment List.  As always, I will organize some discussions with special guests, but I would like to gather your thoughts and requests on discussion topics as well.  

 

So please send your ideas to either the List, or to me personally, if you prefer that.  I will put together a list of the requested topics and post them for everyone, and we will go from there!

 

Thanks so much I'm looking forward to reading what is on your minds, and I'm also looking forward to another interesting year of discussion on assessment topics in Adult Education.

 

Marie
