Charter School Librarians

I accepted a new position this year at a Middle College Charter High School. I am very interested in communicating with other charter school librarians. As far as I can see online, most charter high schools rely on the public library or the college they are affiliated with.See More

Hi,I have a lot of students using the library, I feel like I've created an open, caring and warm environment so they feel very welcome. Love this! I actually have more problems with the adults at school... I'm curious to know how other people handle teachers who don't communicate with you at all, but want to sign up for the library that day. I have quite a few who will come through at 7:45 and when they see that no other teacher has signed up they want to bring in their classes. They think I…See More

Greetings Kristen,

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
