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!
Hi Tarn,
I'm a teacher librarian & recently started a community based blog for getting boys to read - http://GettingBoysToRead.com. Please send me a friend request if you'd like to network, share ideas, and learn more about getting boys to read.
Hi Tarn,
Shekou is an "easy" location with many amenities here at your fingertips. HK is a ferry ride away which is wonderful. The school is growing and this library as at a new campus that's only 1.5 yrs. old. The pay is good and housing is decent. The library program needs time to grow and become truly the heart of the school here. It can be too quiet for me but it is definitely improving. The staff are great to work with. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck! Will you be in Bangkok at the ISS Fair? I will be so maybe I will meet you.
