Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I'm the district librarian at Orange Grove Independent School district. I have three grown sons, one who lives with me on the weekends and two who are fixing to get married. I was in the classroom for nineteen years before our district librarian retired and I was able to take her job. I'm loving life between the bookshelves!

Greetings Lisa,
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
Teacher Librarian at McLain HS
Lakewood, CO
Hi Lisa!
The school year is going great! How about yours? How is it being a district librarian? I love what I do and can't believe I didn't decide to want to be a librarian sooner. We should get together and talk. I would love to see what you are doing in your libraries. Take care!
