Question for segue? What are students using? Item #3 MeeGenius - Good! We will make it news! We will be offering a free one year subscription to all schools and libraries! The subscription will be for one full year and include a subset of about 100 MeeGenius books. You are able to use the books and platform in your classroom as many times as you like and across all available platform, Apple devices, Android devices, website, Google TV, Google Chrome and white boards. We believe in MeeGenius and it's ability to turn a child into a lover of books and we think the best way to convince schools and libraries is to let you try it, unlimited for a full year. Questions that abound from this? http://www.meegenius.com/schools/ Final Segment: Since we’re all librarians, maybe we could each suggest a book here? What are we reading?
