Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I am an elementary school media specialist. This is the first year that I have an combination of a fixed schedule for grades K5-2 and flex schedule for grades 3-5. I am looking was ways to enhance student learning by incorporating more technology and ways to collaborate with more of the upper grade classroom teachers so they can bring their students to the media center, instead of the students coming just to check out books. I also want to hear from media specialists who have already tackled the issue of converting a traditional media center into a 21st centutry multi-media center.

Greetings Clara,
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
