sandy krieg replied to Dana B's discussion Where to donate old library books?"Have you thought about having a book sale?ure that some of your students are star trek and star wars fans. We had someone who used to take our good deletes to a prison library. Perhaps you can find a prison librarian who would like the books."

Dana B posted a discussionWhere to donate old library books?
This was my first year as a Media Specialist at the high school level in a very out dated media center. Before the end of the year I have been weeding out many of our old books. The previous Media Specialist donated all of her used Star Trek and Star Wars books (there are probably at least a thousand in the library!!), the problem is no students check them out, they take up so much room and they really need to go! So I'm looking for a place to donate them, but I can't really find a good place.…See More

Greetings Dana,
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
