Bryn Mawr students speak at AIMS Conference

Four Bryn Mawr students joined archivist Elizabeth Di Cataldo, Tech Integrator and teacher Emily Letras and Librarian Patti Rickert-Wilbur in a presentation on "Night at the Library" at the annual Association of Independent Maryland Schools Conference last week. Carlie H., Korby S., Alexa P., and Feddi R., were selected to participate in the all night library adventure, which was held in October, 2011. At the conference Alexa discussed what it was like to participate in the quest as a member of the press. You can see her work in this special edition of the Mawrtian Transmission. Mawrtian Transmission: LibraryQuest 2011 Carlie and Korby demonstrated how they used i-Pads to scan QR codes and unlock their quests. They also shared and discussed the ballad which they created that evening. Their work was inspired by a real ballad book completed by Bryn Mawr students in the 1930's. Feddi talked about the trepidation she felt during the "haunted" tour of the Gordon building which was lead by Bryn Mawr's Head of Security, Terry Detorie, during the adventure. The girls were wonderful ambassadors for Bryn Mawr--well prepared, poised and articulate. We are very proud of them! Stop by the library to see all of the participants' amazing work, including Korby's cover design, compiled in the "Night at the Library" book.
