Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I’m a middle school librarian so I get to work with young teens daily. Kids often have very strong opinions and preferences when it comes to books/libraries -- I love when they share those with me. The best part of my job is that it’s like walking in a canoe…works best with a great sense of balance and an abundance of humor…you can’t be afraid of getting wet either!:)

Greetings Johanna,
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
