Hey, if anybody wants to bonsai their kid's mind it's their responsibility and not the librarians'; the library's responsibility ends with providing the fertilizer.

-- Steve is, of course, rooting for the more vigourous (albeit unruly) growth that comes from fostering curiosity and reason.

Brilliant. Also, I saw a nice picture of you in my local Catholic newspaper (SF East Bay) yesterday talking about your upcoming appearance in Palo Alto.

Can you get me a clip? (not that I look anything like that picture at the moment, much more hair, and a large mustache).

Here's the link to the article. Hope this helps.

And here's another article...they seem to have used different pictures.

Did you also need a dead tree clipping?

Sigh.... :)

Actually, Yes, that is what I meant. Too much jargon in my life.

[cynthia1960.livejournal.com]

Sure. Let me know where to mail it (email cynthia1960@livejournal.com).

Thanks for posting that URL -- one of the highlights of attending local ZineFests, a decade or so ago, was the opportunity to obtain copies of the zine/chapbook containing _Unshelved_ and articles by the kids (I think they were in highschool or just starting college, then) who created it. I'm delighted to regain contact with them and their view of The Library World.

(Undoubtedly, my experience working part-time in a public library during highschool & college years contributes to my enjoyment & appreciation. They have everything down Just Right -- including not only the Head Librarian who managed to be busy in a back office whenever we had an Irate Patron, but the calm, casual, matter-of-fact way we could mention this to her.)
