- I just read you are from Falfurrias. I spent a good part of every childhood summer there with my cousins. Bob Scott is president of the bank there now, and his sister Anita Kibbe also lives there in the family home I used to visit so frequently. Their dad was mayor back back when I was a kid.

Mike McQueen said… Greetings Leslie,
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
