Greetings Barb,
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!
I have 3 wii's and 2 X-BOX 360's and am on the MIT, Harvard EdGames, and ASU Applied Techs mailing lists for educational gaming! (There are masters degrees in Ed Gaming now!). I am exploring some very radical moves in my Library Media Center!!
More soon... :)
PS YES lets get some dialog going for sure with others out there!

I "second" the must-see Colorado bookstores as Bookies and Tattered Cover. Awesome selection. Plan to spend several hours browsing!

I made you an admin. You shouldn't have had any uploading issues before, but I am sure you won't have any now.
Welcome aboard!
