Book Clubs at Lunch

I work at a middle school in Bryan County, Georgia, and we have begun having a once a month Book Club meeting. The idea originally started with a former student of mine last year. When he went off to the high school, we nominated upcoming 8th graders who took over the sessions. We all read the books, and Lauren and Daniel lead the discussions while we all eat.

Greetings Cathy,

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
