Many of these assignments were required to be based on school libraries. The posters are meant to be for a fictitious middle or high school library. The Library Management Plan is based on a fictitious school. The other items that note a school name are for the assignment only - they only contain a school name and data collected through PWCS or other webs sources. Betsy Masterson (formerly the Librarian at CYES) helped guide me with parts of my process manual.
