The Truth about Librarians From: Elsa Marston Date: Mon, April 12, 2010 9:55 pm To: ccbc-net_at_ccbc.education.wisc.edu
Dear CCBC--
This is off-topic, but I have to share it--especially with the librarians in this group. It's a letter that appeared recently in our local paper, Bloomington, Indiana.
Dear the government,
I don't like that you're firing our school librarians. I am a first-grader at Childs school, and I think that Ms. Williams is a great librarian. She reads wonderful stories, and her voice goes up when it is supposed to and down when it is supposed to.
She helps me find books and makes me interested in reading and makes books exciting for me. Ms. Williams makes us feel special. She knows each kid's name.
Childs school will never be the same without Ms. Williams in the library. Why are you firing our school librarians?
Anna W.
And there you have it, world. Carry on, librarians, and remember to make your voice go up and down according to what it's supposed to do.
(And while I'm at it: I attribute my life-long love of libraries and books to the children's librarian in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, who always had a smile on her face, and who didn't get one bit upset when my sister threw up all over the reading table.)
