  Teacher/Librarian Literacy Partnerships for the Primary Grades  Newly Published! |
As
an Author and School Library Media
Specialist, I'd be happy to tell you ANYTHING (unlike Mrs.
Skorupski)!. I live
in a colonial farmhouse in Buxton,
Maine, on the remaining 35 acres of an old farm,
surrounded
by many gardens, with my husband, Ken Cyll and my
dog, Indy. My son, Topher Cyll, is a
computer scientist, writer, and music lover living in Boston. In
my librarian
hat, I am a member of the Maine
Association of School
Libraries Executive Board. Poke around on my website to learn more about my books, my interests as a library media specialist (especially my passionate interest in connecting kids with authors and illustrators and my strong belief in teacher/librarian collaboration), and my school visits, conference speaking, and training sessions. I hope that you’ll visit often. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me. I’ll look forward to hearing from you! NEWS FLASH! Premier library book jobber, Mackin, has posted a new interview with me on their website. NEWS FLASH! Collaborating to Meet Literacy Standards: Teacher/ Librarian Partnerships for K-2 is my latest professional book (published by Linworth). It is the third in a series of collaboration books that offer content rich chapters on the topic of collaboration as well as a collection of collaborative units to adopt or adapt in the library and classroom. NEWS FLASH! Our Librarian Won't Tell Us ANYTHING! A Mrs. Skorupski Story (Upstart 2006) is newly published. First reviews are in and glowing.
