About a month ago, I decided it was time to think about the next step for the Lit Lab.  In September, Erin started a new job as the librarian for 1,200+ students at Eckstein Middle School.  I am thrilled that she is now able to use all the skills she has learned and practiced to do something she loves.  I do miss the time she had to help me with all the details of the Lit Lab, especially keeping up our digital image.  It has been a challenge, but I am slowly getting the hang of keeping up the blog and posting on Facebook.  More than technical help, though, I have missed being able to call Erin at the drop of a hat to throw a new idea around or talk about Lit Lab plans.  We still brainstorm whenever we can, but it’s usually late at night and just not as frequent.  Fortunately, Jane Cardwell, retired librarian of Lincoln-Hubbard Elementary School in Summit NJ, Lit Lab board member and good friend, has committed more of her time to the Lit Lab and we are busy making great plans for the future.  Stay tuned …
