Remember this saying? I think there are still a few station wagons driving around that have it emblazened on their bumper stickers. I remember this saying and starchy screenprint image again as a former colleague of mine (who is now a teacher) recently sent me a request for direct donor support for her classroom of first graders. She’s using the assistance of DonorsChoose to take matters into her own hands. Although the service was founded in 2000, it recently received a boost because of some mentions on TV (7 years later!). I checked in on my friend’s project listed on the site and decided to help out by funding the project. Hoorah for teachers who work to get the job done by doing all they can to help the kids they work with each day. I wonder how an online service like this could work for libraries. Perhaps there is one already ? Let the “great day” that the old bumper sticker talks about happen!
Yes to Know 
This sticker was on the door of the library director’s office in my undergraduate college library. I must have read it a least once every stint I worked at the circ desk a few yards from his door. I sat at that desk 3 times a week or more for over 3 years. Part of who I am today is because of that sticker! Thanks for bringing it back to our attention. Chris
