[ISLMA-Share] Reorganizing for grade level centers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I would be interested in what others have to say about this, also. We have
the possibility of moving from three K-8 schools to one 5-8 building and
two K-4 buildings. Big change! Any insight would be very helpful!

Thank you!
