Name of Your School / Library / Organization:

I am a Teacher-Librarian at a Cape Town High School and I thoroughly enjoy my work. I would like to meet other Teacher-Librarians in order to share ideas and have interesting discussions. It's great to be able to connect with young people who are keen to broaden their minds, their interests and general knowledge, to further develop themselves in order to grow into mature, responsible young adults.Also, as a teacher I am able to make a difference in their lives accompanying them on their life journey of discovery. My motto in life is to "be a blessing" to others and those I meet in my daily life. I believe that "It does not matter how long we live, but rather how we lived our life" that matters most! My interests beyond books and other reading matters are: dancing for relaxation, walking to keep fit, listening to an eclectic range of music (jazz, old school, classical music, pop, etc.). Travelling and meeting other cultures - "going places and meeting new faces", and off course socialising and entertaining!

  • Greetings Harriet,

    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
