  • Greetings Vickie, 

    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

  • Vickie, sounds like our careeers have shadowed each other. I was an elementary teacher for twenty years and then went in to the Media Center and this will be my seventh year in this area. I am working most of the summer and trying to remoel my reading corner. It is awful! Even I wouldn't want to sit there and read. I am putting murals on the walls and getting new furniture. Trying to make it look like an outdoor garden area.
