I believe that we are in the midst of a major library transition which will change how we access information and how we staff libraries.

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

Just came across the Athletes as Readers and Leaders project--very nice!

I'm a skateboarding children's author whose Rolling for Reading program delivers books to kids in need, via skateboard. My brother's in Sebastopol, so I'm up your way now and then (partly for the skatepark!).

Cheers,

Barb
