Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
Retired June 2010, but once a librarian always a librarian. I was so privileged to work in an elementary school library. I loved the challenge, the books, and the new technology. I keep writing my blogs, one on the history of my school, one on graphic novels, and my new one reviewing iPhone apps. We librarians have a lot to offer. I am looking for librarians who have an interest in making sure kids are getting great apps not poorly made products. My grandchildren love the apps. I want to make sure they have awesome apps just as they have wonderful books.

Greetings Sharon,
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
