Name of Your School / Library / Organization:

The library world has been my home for the last five years. I moved into the field after seven years of teaching eighth grade English. I was worried about the switch fearing I would lose my connection with the students. I couldn't have been more wrong. I love my career, I can't imagine why everyone in the world doesn't want to do what I do! I love learning new things everyday. My students make me smile on a daily basis, and I can't imagine being an educator on any other level. Middle schoolers are so much fun! Outside of the library, I have a wonderful husband and two delightfully spicy daughters who keep me on my toes. They are amazing!

    Greetings Jen,

    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
