Sue Heraper said… - Thanks for commenting on my Book Fair video. On Friday moring the book fair was set up in the library and I recorded and took photos of the students who who helped promote it. I also photographed and filmed students who came to the book fair during lunch. Over the weekend I spent about 10 hours editing the video using Windows Movie Maker, which is available for free. I used Audacity for the sound, which is also available as a free download. Our school showed the video to all the classes at the same time by playing it on a DVD player in the office and all the teachers tuning in to a particular channel. This really helped all the students to get excitied about visiting the book fair, and our sales more than doubled the previous year.

Greetings Ruth,
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
