Thoughts

“Less help? Less money? Less resources? So what do we do about it? Look to each other - to network, share, talk, advocate. No one tells our stories better than we do.

“Let’s get out of our comfort zones and do more with less. We can still make library memories

that will last a lifetime and teach our kids that librarians do care about them and are always around to help. Because we DO make a difference.” --Lanell Rabner

“I taught English early in my [26 year] career and U.S. History and U.S. Government and Citizenship for most of my career, and I could not have done so without the media centers, and the individuals who managed them and taught library-media skills.  Thanks for everything you do for the children in your school and for the teachers who teach them.”
