Greetings Gexie2,
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
Teacher Librarian at McLain HS
Lakewood, CO

Folks in Washington State are trying to have legislation passed that would support school libraries and librarians. Keep your fingers crossed for us! If you want to know more, go to:

Are you a full time TL or is only part of your teaching schedule library? Where I'm from (Southern Ontario, Canada), there is only 1 full time elementary TL - all the rest are half time or less. Very frustrating.
