  • Greetings Melissa, 

    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

  • Hi Meliss!
    New teacher training in Somerville is on the 23rd and 24th of August. I wish you were still here so that I would have someone to hang out with! Hope all is well in Oregon!
  • Hmm. Are there no librarians in Portland? There are librarians in all elementary schools full-time in my district. Which is NOT Vancouver. It's the OTHER one.
    I don't know of any positions right now, but I would definitely encourage you to keep checking here.
  • Hi Melissa,
    I just joined this network. Glad to see there is another Northwester here.
