Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I came to the field of Library Media through the back door. I worked for most of my career as a teacher of gifted and talented students and was always in the library with one project or another. I felt lucky enough to work in the field of gifted and talented for as long as I did and when the program was cut a position opened in my district for an LMS . I earned a certification in library media and have been teaching for 5 years as an LMS. I have never been happier!

Greetings Debra,
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
