Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
Barnett Shoals Elementary School (Bears) Athens, GA - Clarke County School District I am a member of various organizations, groups and listservs relating to school library media and libraries generally. I am in my 2nd year in schools after telling stories and serving children in our public library for 5 yrs. In 2000, I wouldn't have guessed in my wildest dreams that I'd end up now as an elementary school librarian.

Greetings George,
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
