Celebrating 20+ Years of Improving Student Achievement

SLMSSENY Dutchess County Libraries Report

I would like to share some of the great things that are being done in our school libraries, by publishing them in the Monthly SLMSSENY Dutchess County Libraries Report. Please send me a couple lines about any project, event or practice you think would be of interest to others.  Anything innovative, especially successful or new would be of interest.  Reports will go out monthly so be sure to let me know when (April, May…) things are taking place.
