Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I just finished my 30th year in teaching. Two were in a classroom, and 28 have been in libraries, K-12. I have been a librarian in Albuquerque, NM, as well as three Pueblo Day Schools at Jemez Pueblo, San Felipe Pueblo and Zia Pueblo in New Mexico. I have been a librarian in a private school, working both in the K-8 library and the 9-12 library. I'm now in Washington, where I have been an elementary school librarian in the Issaquah and Bellevue School Districts.

Greetings Kathy,
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
