My class was happily choosing books. It sounds like chatter, laughter, fun. It is NOT quiet. A teacher told them to quiet down because "this is a library." I did a little re-educating. Libraries = active learning. Active learning = noise.

The most dramatic moment in 21st Century literature

I would rather lose books than readers. If we accept the fact that we are in the business of losing books, can we be satisfied with a 90% return rate of books and 100% return rate of students?

Through the heartbreak and anguish of yesterday's grievous tragedy, there are stories of hope and community. This librarians exhibited the best of the human spirit when a community and kids needed it the most. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u…
