Librarians are…

  1. Passionate advocates for you and yours.
  2. Funny! The evidence is right here.

In the words of Paul Simon, “Times are hard, it’s a hard time. But everybody knows all about hard times. The thing is, what are you gonna do?” (“Wartime Prayers”).

I’ve got two suggestions: keep up the good fight for libraries, and keep up your sense of humor too. After all, libraries are meant to transform lives and brighten days. Here’s to all the fun-loving library advocates out there.

Moving On…With Style

With the drastic cut in hours to our remaining branches, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library staff have been shuffled around a bit to new locations. You have to love the way a children’s librarian can make anything fun! Take a look at this video from one of our librarians who is moving from ImaginOn to a nearby smaller branch. This is why I love libraries and the staff who work in them!
