Summer (blessed summer) is a great time to:

1. Buy airline tickets in advance (on Good Morning America today, a special report cautioned air travelers to make advance purchases because airfares continue to rise).
2. Prepare for the ESU SLIM Summer Institute for School Librarians! See you all there on June 11-12, 2008.
3. Finish up POs and other financial paperwork from the fiscal year.
4. Order books so they'll be ready for the first day of school in August.
5. Read novels of all types.
6. Study.
7. Take a trip somewhere fun.
8. Enjoy all of the extra light we have from the early morning until around 9 p.m.
9. Hunker down when those tornado sirens go off (and based on this year's storm patterns, I think we haven't heard the last of those sirens).
10. Relax, even if you are busy doing other things.
11. Get organized.
12. Plant some flowers.
13. Update your web page and/or blog.
14. Take more time to connect with friends and family.
