    Hi Kim,

    You can create your own Shelfari collection by going to http://www.shelfari.com. The web app will allow you to embed your "shelf" in your profile on School Leadership.

    Sorry that we missed each other at the middle school. I will email you to see if you have some time to meet for lunch once the school year ends.

    Take care,

    Jared
