Welcome+to+Bridge+to+Books

====Take one **educator** with a passion for books and getting kids to read (Alyson) and mix in a talented book **blogger** and former **bookseller** (Alethea) and you have the start of Bridge to Books. As we began to talk, we realized that there were great resources out there that did not seem to be getting to the right places.We wanted to see people come together from various disciplines to share thoughts and ideas, with the overall goal of getting children excited about books and reading.====

Members can edit this wiki. The idea is that we can get ideas and action done for the group outside of the monthly meetings.
