Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I work at a rural K-12 school in northern B.C Canada with over 330 students. The majority of our students are English Second Language. They speak Low German at home before learning English when they come to school in Kindergarten. (Low German is a combination of old English and old German. There is no written form of it. Regular German speakers are not able to understand Low German.

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
