    Hi Maria,

    I’ve changed jobs and I’m now working at Seattle Central College. I’m teaching a quarter long information literacy class and supervising a library school student as my TA. We decided to read your book as part of their training, and I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying it. Your writing style, and your project are both truly inspiring.

    I hope I get to see you again at ACRL in Portland!

    1. Hi, Althea! It’s so nice to hear from you. Thanks so much for your very kind words. I don’t plan to go to ACRL this year, but I do hope our paths will cross again in libraryland sometime soon!
