Greetings Kathleen,
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

I'm a teacher librarian & recently started a community based blog for getting boys to read - http://GettingBoysToRead.com. Please send me a friend request if you'd like to network, share ideas, and learn more about getting boys to read.
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen

Yes I am planning on attending the MSLA SAG conference at Fort Richmond Collegiate. I'm actually going solo this year (I usually go with a bunch of fellow teachers to SAG and we gossip all day) but we all seem to be going in different directions this year. I guess we should be able to recognize each other from our profile shots but maybe we should plan to meet at a break time just to say "Hi" and try to "socially network" without the network (teehee!)
Any thoughts?
Heather
I noticed you were online and have joined the TL Network ning too! It's been a busy day of posting and writing discussion questions. I love your pictures. Welcome to the group!
