    Greetings Nerine,

    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

    Thanks, overpricing will be the key I guess. The Report card has been suggested too and at least the ones graduating from last year are worried. Sorry if this duplicate, I am still learning to move around the site :-)

    Nerine,

    Any tips on dealing with the really late returners-book 'thieves' ??? As you know there is plenty of money in the city but apparently some parents are not too keen on buying books. |So, some little darlings just refuse to return them. Library is becoming a main book provider but sometimes I find it hard to get all our wonderful collection shipped again! How to make them understand ' it is not a matter of money but of responsibility? ' (That's my Library motto by the way).
