  Greetings Liz,

  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

  Hey! That was quick - aren't you supposed to be on vacation?! YES Heidi and Jane have been really helpful about helping me with my decision to "jump in". It was Judy Walker who told me about you - she is a long-time librarian (now sub) in the district. I'm sure we'll cross paths - I've got a long road ahead of me! Take care Liz!

  Hey Liz! I teach 2nd grade at Bradford and I am going back to school at CU for the SLIL program (I saw you on that ning as well). I've had a few teachers who mentioned that I should contact you as I seek out to find librarians to talk to in the district. Just wanted to say "hello". Enjoy your break and Merry Christmas!

  Hi there Liz,
  
  I'm going to be in CO this summer. Wondering if you happen to have any favorite children's bookstores in your area? I always know librarians know best!
  
  Thanks in advance!
