A1: The best thing I've read this summer is The Inquisitor's Tale or The 3 Magical Children & their Holy Dog by @AdamGidwitz Hi #AISLEChat
shighley - Moderator Jun 21 @ 8:37 PM EDT

That won so many awards, and yet I had problems selling it to kids. Ones who read it really liked it. #AISLEchat

CAMMediaCenter Jun 21 @ 8:38 PM EDT

I agree; I really enjoyed it but it's a tough sell to middle school kids, at least. #AISLEchat

I will be working with the board and on the conference in September. We are having @ToddWhitaker so I am really excited about it. #AISLEchat

I didn't read it all at once, but I'm a huge Gidwitz fan so I stuck with it. (Always found historical fiction is a hard sell #AISLEchat)

Hi everyone! I'm Michelle Houser. District Librarian for North Adams CS. Read Sweet by Emmy Layborne and loved it! #aislechat

A1: As a matter of fact, I started the summer in Italy! We visited Bellagio, Venice, Siena, and Rome. It was magical. #AISLEchat
CAMMediaCenter Jun 21 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Haha so true! And a perfect sports analogy. #AISLEchat

CAMMediaCenter Jun 21 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A1: I highly recommend Love & Gelato to get a taste of Italy, by the way. It made me miss the food. And gelato. #AISLEchat

A3: See A2! I can't wait to connect & learn in person with my PLN at #ALAC17 & #ISTE17 So many friends I only see yearly! #aislechat

A3: Lots of reading (hopefully by a body of water) and leisurely preparing the library for the new school year. #AISLEchat
shighley - Moderator Jun 21 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Once I went, I couldn't stop; went 5 yrs in a row. Thinking that since it's nearby in Chicago next year....#ISTE #AISLEchat
In reply to @Techy_Margaret
sherryngick Jun 21 @ 9:00 PM EDT

This is my fifth #ISTE as well! And of course Chicago next year is a no-brainer! SO close! #AISLEchat
