FBISD GOODMAN ES: NEWS FROM THE NEST

Welcome to Spring!

After a wonderful holiday break and beginning of a new year, I'm back into the swing of things! This newsletter is transforming from news out/about on campus to strictly, library news! I hope you will enjoy insights from the perspective of the library! It will cover books, technology and other forms of social media! Enjoy and Happy Spring!
