Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I run a couple of education websites. I'd like to share my tools with educators and get feedback about what I can do better: *Favaholic Encourage reading by showing the favorite books of famous people *Brainyflix Kids teach each other tough vocab with user-generated images and video. P.S. -- We're currently hosting a nationwide contest for MIT where kids make visual flashcards. There will be a final cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Anyone can participate! Please check it out!!!

Greetings Jack,
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
