Hello! I am in Texas, where to be a librarian in public school requires that I would have to have taught two years in K-12 prior to being allowed to be a librarian in that venue. As such, I am seeking specifically to become a librarian at a private school--preferably at the high school level. Having been a community college English professor for ten years or so, I think the transition will be a natural and rewarding one. :)

Greetings Heather,
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
