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

Thank you for your comments about controversial issues resources. I would like to try out the database you recommended. I'll look into it when I return. I'm in Geneva right now, which is certainly more like winter in CT than southern China. How much does the database cost per year? BTW, I am originally from Washington CT, a small town in the Northwest! Right now I am living in Shekou China on the mainland but near Hong Kong working as the Middle and High School Librarian at a school for expats with about 600 students. What is it like to work in CT in the education system? (I have only worked in VT and then Tunisia and now China in my career.)
Anyway, thank you for the feedback!
Mary Alice
