  • Greetings Carolyn,

     

    I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit.

    We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!

    Sincerely,


    Mike McQueen
    Teacher Librarian at McLain HS
    Lakewood, CO

  • Hi,
    I'm only finishing my second year as a media specialist which has been an expereience. So I am not the best person to ask about the state of libraries in Maryland. The two hardest things I have had to deal with is not having a budget and my students not having a media specialist before me. I am very lucky that the Library Media Supervisor is a wonderful women and has done so much for the school libraries in the county.
