First of all, if I don't talk to you before then, have an awesome trip! I'm sure it will be all kinds of wonderful!
Second, throwing lessons plans together doesn't make you a bad literacy volunteer--it just makes you that much more of a real teacher. :)
And thank you very much for posting the link about literacy volunteer. Considering the experience I already have, and the fact that I miss teaching reading A LOT, being a literacy volunteer might do me a lot of good. Except for the fact that I work nights. But anyway. I found a local chapter and downloaded their application, so I thought you might want to know that you're spreading all the good works! :)
*smooch* Have a lovely trip! Don't forget to tell us all about it. :)
Oh, that is so fantastic! Yay! I know you will be so fantastic at it and also, when I was being trained, I remember hearing that a lot of the people who need literacy help work irregular hours (often nights) and that availability during the day is really good.
I have spent the last two months cursing myself for giving in to Library Euphoria, the malady I fall victim to when I realize that the nice people at the desk will let me just walk out of the building with ANY BOOK I WANT for FREE (plus any late fines that have accrued since our last visit).
AHAHAHAHA! Oh! I won't even begin to explain my many horrible sins in this regard (it is far too embarrassing); I finally just had to acknowledge that libraries cannot be for me EVER because apparently I cannot give things back. At all!

ME EITHER! Yesterday the librarian said she was surprised I didn't fall over when I heard the fines. Clearly she did not check my record!
