Name of Your School / Library / Organization:

17 yrs. as a media specialist in N.C. Ten years in a private school. Most recent employment (3 yrs.) in Durham public schools (urban middle school). Biggest concern: literacy among our socioeconomically-disadvantaged students. Would love any advice regarding how media specialists can help non-reading or very low-reading, middle schoolers.

    Greetings Betsy,

    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
