Name of Your School / Library / Organization:

Formerly a social studies teacher, I am currently the librarian at Russell I. Doig Middle School in Trumansburg, NY. Our building covers grades 5-8. I will be starting my fourth year here and was the librarian at Horseheads Middle School for two years prior to this. The last three years I have been working hard to bring our library into the technology age. The previous librarian did not like kids in the library and did nothing to help teachers or students with technology. This is my first time joining an onlilne network. I am looking to promote a library 2.0 and would appreciate any feedback on your experiences.

    Greetings Karen,

    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
