  Greetings Lesley,

   

  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

  Thanks for the positive comments. This is my first (well second, but definitely the best) foray into the world of social networking. How exciting to receive a response and to have made two friends already!

  Hi Lesley--
  grin--so it too me over a month to find this! I'm SO not into social networking mode..but starting to get back into it. Blogging again, etc. There is REALLY a lot to do here. Average book dates to 1968, no information literacy curriculum in place--or any other document, either (selection policy, challenge procedure, etc.) Bad, but kind of cool because it gives me plenty to do!
  
  Hey, are you interested in being a Beta tester for Yahoo? I did it when they were testing their new search assist stuff, and apparently they have something new in the works. They want more librarians on the "team." here's the link, you'd like to do it. It's pretty fun, doesn't take long, and has some cool prizes, if anything like last time. (I won some amazing bluetooth headphones). Someone else won a GPS, etc.
  
  Here's the link

  Hi Lesley--
  Got your comment, but couldn't reply through Blogger, sooo..
  
  Isn't that cool?
  
  There's a program called Skitch (Mac only, unfortunately) that I'm beta testing. It allows you to take screen pics or upload photographs, then mark on them in various ways.
  
  If you have a Mac, here's the link to request an invitation.

  Thanks. You're right, it's really fun. I'm doing a workshop in a couple of weeks and looking forward to introducing it to everyone!

  Lesley,
  A colleague went to the inservice on May 26th and just raved about it. It's a bit funny that things I have been saying all year and he 'blew' off, he found absolutely fantastic at the seminar. Just goes to show that old dogs can learn new tricks.
  
  Well done! :-)

  Hi Leslie,
  
  Are you coming with ERAC to the Comox Valley on the 26th? I didn't sign up for it...there were only limited spots available and some newbies at my school snagged them.
