L4L

Just participated in the L4L webinar yesterday. It was very informative and affirming. What I have been trying to accomplish in my library is what I heard loud and clear as far as the direction of school library programs. I would like to use much of it to help our library assistants get up to speed with what is happening in the school library world. Thanks to Dr. Carol Gordon and others who are making this program happen.

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
