  • Greetings Donna,

    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

  • Donna, in regards to the avitar, I must admit that my teenage daughter helped me out. I'm still not sure how I did it.

  • Thanks for replying. I don't always look at all the wikis and social network stuff that I have signed up on. I just got an e-mail from a colleague and there is something going on via a blog that was mentioned on SLJ's online newsletter. It has to do with Web 2.0. I am in the midst of trying to figure it out. It may be of interest. Here is the link:

    Sorry that it did not copy as a hyperlink.

    Nice to meet you. I am going to be away for two weeks with my family visiting 4 ballparks, 2 halls of fame, 2 amusement parks, Chicago and Wright Air Force Base's museum. Please feel free to comment back...I am hoping to keep abreast of my e-mail and correspondence while away.
