Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I work at a small rural school with about 200 students 9-12 grades. I have a Masters in LIS from University of Illinois and also a Masters in Historical Administration from Eastern Illinois University. I love both history and reading as well as doing research. Teaching is really a second career for me because I worked as a commercial union carpenter before a suffered an injury that stopped that kind of work. I went back to school at age 40 and here I am some 15 years later. I really like working with the students.

Greetings Kim,
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
