Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I'm a first-year middle school librarian-teacher. Although this is my first year doing this, I have been in a higher ed classroom for 7 years, and an educational technologist for the same amount of time. I love being back in the library again, after working previously in a public library and an academic library.

Greetings Lorie,
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
