Deborah Shauan replied to Emily Dittmar's discussion Chick Lit in the group High School TeacherLibrarians"I loved Gimme A Call by Sarah Mlynowski and The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg. My coworkers and I have been recommending these two all year. Meg Cabot is also great (Airhead, The Mediator)."

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
