Name of Your School / Library / Organization:

For 10 years, I worked as a media specialist in two different districts at both the middle school and elementary school level. I had the opportunity to return to the classroom to teach mathematics (back to my roots) as I saw my schedule in the media center filled with covering planning time for teachers and not much time left for collaboration, facilitating the research process with students, or my expectations for media center management. After two years of teaching mathematics, it gave me time to reflect and decide that my true passion is for the media center and I returned to an elementary media center in August of 2009.

    Greetings Laurie,

    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
