 SUNY @ the Library

Students from SUNY Potsdam's Literacy Block II visit the library each semester to find materials to feature in their assignments and unit studies. PPL's Sarah Sachs and SUNY's Lynn Hall, Deborah Conrad and Carolyn Stone have collaborated on the project for five semesters. In September, Sachs visited the Rebecca Sheard Literacy Center to share informational texts with preservice teachers and children from the SUNY Daycare Center.
