Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I am School Librarian at an independent day and boarding school in Suffolk. I have been in this post for 10 years and before that did a variety of jobs in school and public libraries in various locations in England. My major work interests are promoting a love of reading and training pupils to find and use information effectively. I've also just become PSHCE co-ordinator and head of careers, a job which seems to be growing exponentially!

Greetings Lesley,
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
