*Lake Murray Elementary School in Chapin, South Carolina is hosting a Celebration of Life Ceremony for Penny Hayne. As you know, Penny Hayne passed away in November and her elementary school is honoring her on May 17 at 3pm. The principal asked that I let everyone know so that you can join in celebrating Penny’s life.
*Join us for the 2009 SCASL Summer Institute: Gaming for Learning! Gaming across America has become a way for libraries to encourage play, socialization, cultural enrichment and learning. Public libraries have become the leader in gaming utilization in the library communities but the academic and school communities are quickly increasing their gaming participation. Electronic and board gaming are both becoming an exciting way for libraries to increase their patron base. There will be hands on time to play games for learning! The SCASL Summer Institute is partnering with the Upstate Technology Conference in Greenville this year.
