“Does anyone know how I can embed
my time toast into my slide rocket?”
I posted that question on the listserv LM_NET a few weeks ago. I was
helping students in their senior English classes work on presentations,
and I could not find the information on embedding a presentation into
slide rocket. I got ZERO answers to the question, but I did get a lovely
remark from someone who said that this question made her laugh out
loud. It really was a serious question, but when I reflected on it again, I
realized that indeed it was a funny question taken out of the 2.0 context.
This is my last newsletter column as your State President—and my, but
this year has gone by quickly! We’ve made some great connections that I
believe will serve us well as we move forward towards reaching our newest CSLA goals.
One of my personal goals was to make connections with organizations and legislators. This year
we were able to attend several workshops and meetings with legislative aides, establishing
relationships so that we can promote strong school libraries first and foremost in the minds of
those who make educational decisions. Under the excellent guidance of the CSLA Public
Relations Committee we’ve been connecting with the state level leadership of PTA, CLA, CSTA,

There’s a lot of talk around the ole’ virtual water cooler about the value of joining CSLA. You
who are reading this are already members and see the value of having a collective voice in
Sacramento and throughout the state. I hope that you will talk with your colleagues who are not
members and encourage them to join us as we move forward in making the important connec-
tions that will give us the exposure we need. It takes a village to build a wonderful library, and it’s
the people inside those libraries who make it all work.
Thank you for all that you do to promote strong school libraries at your site and beyond.
Working together we will move forward. This new year will be one of great strides. Embrace
serendipity—it’s there waiting for you just around the corner. See you at conference!

T
he 2009 CSLA Conference is a busy time for the Leadership for Diversity Committee. Please join us at several functions. This year
our concurrent session on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. will feature Susan Dubin and Merle Froshman. Susan will speak about American
Jewish Literature for Children. Susan wants you to know that this literature covers a wide variety of topics ranging from holiday
stories to bible story retellings and folktales to realistic fiction. Immigrant stories and Holocaust literature are the most common subjects for
young adults and middle grade readers, while Eastern European folklore and Hanukkah stories top the list for picture books. This presenta-
tion gives an overview of some of the books that have found their way into the mainstream of children’s literature, touching on Sydney
Taylor Award Winners and National Jewish Book Award Winners. Merle Froshman will deliver a Power Point presentation about her
amazing collaboration with a school in Laos.
While at the conference we invite you to stop by the Silent Auction and browse at all the unique gift items and books donated to us by
caring members and vendors to support our LFD scholarship and award fund. The bidding will close after lunch on Saturday. We will also
present several scholarships and an award to worthy recipients at the General Session/Membership Meeting on Saturday from 4:30 p.m to
5:30 p.m.
At the time this article was submitted, there was a need for a person to take over the Chair position of the Leadership for Diversity Com-
mittee. If you want to meet extraordinary people and want to implement great ideas to advance the focus on diversity please contact me at
ChelaRHz@aol.com for more information.
The 2009 conference is full of wonderful surprises. See you there!
