This is Steven Layne's website. Steve's mission statement is "Building lifetime readers is what it's all about for reading teachers and librarians. If we aren't doing that - what are we doing? We have to be about this business with every fiber of our being. Infectious - that's what they should call us! Professionally speaking, from my perspective at least, there isn't time for much else." Dr. Layne is coming to speak at our inservice on April 19.
