    Greetings Cynthia,

    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

    That's exactly what I'm doing - enjoying the reprieve. I did join a different librarian social networking site but I love this one much better. Look forward to chatting with you via this new form of communication.

    Hi Cynthia!
    Welcome to the Ning! I just joined too! (Gee, I wonder why we're all connecting here right now! I found April here too.) This is kind of cool. Now we can chat about our course outside of those "Blackboard" walls. I hope you are enjoying the little reprieve Joanne gave us this week. I am so impressed with your ambition and enthusiasm to continue learning even past retirement. I look forward to chatting with you in this "social network".
    Take care,
    Heather
