We're here just to let people know that we're working without a contract and that we support hiring certified librarians in the librarian positions, and that we have the support of our association behind us.

This is the outcome we were hoping for. We have maintained that it was important to us that we had certified librarians throughout the bargaining process, and we are happy to see that the district and the board have done the right thing.

Because of this great variety of resources, people can be inundated with information, and the librarians help them refine their searches. The new age makes them even more valuable, and it has changed the nature of the job.

It's an ongoing process. Librarians look at what's popular and where there are gaps in the collections.

Many students are not aware that librarians are tenure-tracked faculty members. Librarians are in the 'publish or perish' category required for tenure and promotion. The education required is a minimum of two master's degrees, one being mandatory Â- a Master's in Library Science - and a second Master's degree in any subject. These must be from an accredited university. A number of librarians have a Ph.D.

Children 10 and under are invited to dress as a story book character to win a cash prize. This year we have four local school librarians to be the judges. I am anxious to see what the big character will be this year.

I think within the library system, we all think the action figure is wonderful. When it came out, all the librarians bought one and have it here on their desks. It's a nice, tongue-in-cheek piece for librarians.

And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

The old man was peering intently at the shelves. 'I'll have to admit that he's a very competent scholar.'Isn't he just a librarian?' Garion asked, 'somebody who looks after books?'That's where all the rest of scholarship starts, Garion. All the books in the world won't help you if they're just piled up in a heap.

As soon as I got into the library I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I got a whiff of the leather on all the old books, a smell that got real strong if you picked one of them up and stuck your nose real close to it when you turned the pages. Then there was the the smell of the cloth that covered the brand-new books, books that made a splitting sound when you opened them. Then I could sniff the the paper, that soft, powdery, drowsy smell that comes off the page in little puffs when you're reading something or looking at some pictures, kind of hypnotizing smell.I think it's the smell that makes so many folks fall asleep in the library. You'll see someone turn a page and you can imagine a puff of page powder coming up real slow and easy until it starts piling on a person's eyelashes, weighing their eyes down so much they stay down a little longer after each blink and finally making them so heavy that they just don't come back up at all. Then their mouths open and their heads start bouncing up and down like they're bobbing in a big tub of of water for apples and before you know it.. They're out cold and their face thunks smack-dab on the book. That's the part that makes librarians the maddest. They get real upset if folks start drooling in the books

..I am still librarian in your house, for I never was dismissed, and never gave up the office. Now I am librarian here as well.''But you have just told me you were sexton here!''So I am. It is much the same profession. Except you are a true sexton, books are but dead bodies to you, and a library nothing but a catacomb!

..a book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements, clumsy hands. If for a hundred and a hundred years everyone had been able freely to handle our codices, the majority of them would no longer exist. So the librarian protects them not only against mankind but also against nature, and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion, the enemy of truth.

Some believe that every library looks like a splendid cemetery of human thoughts and ideas. Could librarians be called grave-diggers? However that may be, like a cemetery, a library will never stop being of use.

For one crazy moment he had the notion of a vanished tribe of librarians, lost in the deep underground caverns of the Bodleian, a wild and savage tribe that fed on unwary travellers.
