CLASC Buddy List…UPDATED!!

Thank you to everyone that sent back their responses and was gracious enough to be included on the CLASC Buddy List.  This program was designed as the starting point of a network among our members of informal information exchange, support and mentoring.  Feel free to contact any of the members listed via email if you have any questions, are looking for advice, or are simply gathering ideas on how to start.

CLASC Dinner was a Success!

Fun was had by all that attended the CLASC Annual Meeting and Dinner at the Three Village Inn on April 18th.  The Lewin’s are a wonderful couple that entertained us all with their exciting adventure stories.  A big thank you to everyone that attended…and wore their animal print!

Pick-a-Park Resource

What a great resource to share with the families that come to your library!  Created by the Long Island Nature Collaborative for Kids, a national demonstration project of The Early Years Institute, the Pick-a-Park website allows families to search for parks in their area.   Designed especially for young families, preschool programs and elementary schools, this inventory includes about 700 parks and preserves run by every level of government – village, town, city, county, state and federal, as well as several not-for-profit organizations.  Their goal is to reconnect children and nature…so share the link on your library’s website!

Books for Sale at the Dinner

Books will be for sale and autographed by Ted and Betsy Lewin at the Annual Meeting and Dinner on Thursday, April 18.  Here is a sneak preview of what will be for sale!
