Welcome! This guide was originally created for the July 19-22 2015 SDSL Boot Camp.
Brought to you by your instructors, Danielle and Jane!
This course is an introduction to a wide variety of library activities for school and public libraries that will incorporate collaboration with teachers, implementation of Common Core state standards and social media.
More information is found at the Bootcamp 2015 wiki.
