| From one librarian to another --- You're awesome, now spread the word outside of The Library... |
If there is one thing I have learned about librarians, it is that they are pro-fresh-shun-owls when it comes to talking about how great libraries are and how undervalued librarians are... TO EACH OTHER. The library's intranet blog is full of stories submitted by library staff on articles about the "greatness" of the public library which happened to be posted on a library-specific website which only reaches a specific group of readers: library staff.
This week is the high point of library circle-jerking: Banned Books Week.
"Libraries the defenders of everyone's right to read, unless it's 50 Shades of Grey." Of course everyone who is usually all rah-rah about Banned Books Week were no where to be found or heard from when a public library said that they weren't going to carry that horrid book. Of course the library system caved when media picked the story up. --- yay, public library ridiculousness!
Now, if only The Library was as good as getting the word out to the general public, maybe we wouldn't be in this annual tooth and nail fight for every single budget dollar.
