"More than a building that houses books and data, the library has always
been
a window to a larger world--a place where we've always come to discover
big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story
forward.
"Libraries remind us that truth isn't about who yells the loudest, but who has
the
right information. Because even as we're the most religious of people,
America's innovative genius has always been preserved because we also
have a deep faith in facts.
"And so the moment we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold into
a library, we've changed
their lives forever, and for the better. This is an enormous force for
good."
-President-elect Barack Obama in a speech at the American
Library Association annual conference in June 2005.

"I see a woman in
the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world..." -- Neil Young

If darkness blinds you I

connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home" -- Ryan Adams
"This is my family. I found it, all on my own. Is little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good."

(this is the
part where you cry)
it's not like you're not trying, with a pencil in your hair
to defy the beauty the good lord put in there...
simple little bookworm- buried underneath...
is the sexiest librarian...take off those glasses and let down your hair for me.

| EXCERPTS FROM
A DOG'S DIARY
Day number 180 Day number 181 Day number 182
EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DIARY
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture...Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this On their bed. DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was... Not working according to plan. DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still LODGED between my teeth. DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event, however, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and he speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my activities. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time... -Author Unknown |
