  Greetings Mercede,

  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

  Mercede, I am sorry it has taken a while for me to get this for you. I needed to ask permission to share some of the materials from class. Are you on delicious? The social bookmarker site? Most of the articles are saved there. It would be an easy way for me to share them with you. It's free to join. http://delicious.com
  Let me know if that works for you.

  M, you might have been in my storytelling class...with the princess wand and you told the story about the animals that had a party. Let me know how your classes are going. BK

  Thanks for the kind words. I spent most of the summer rearranging a space that the retiring librarian built from the ground up, literally, 25 years ago! Lots of clutter and I am a NEAT freak! I had so much fun but there is so much more to do. My new circulation desk and computer work station comes in January! I will share new photos as soon as I can. In my class we did a lot of research on library space and design. If you'd like me to send them to you I will. I was happy reading them because I made the changes prior to taking the class but the changes I made were good ones.
  I just went through S.C. coming back from Fla over Thanksgiving break.
