Every
Thursday, you’ll get this short, fun, relevant newsletter. It will contain a
quote or smile about the library and those who love it, an idea you can use to
promote your library or reading in general, and an occasional shameless plug
for the programs I offer. Enjoy!
If
you are new to us or have missed any previous issues, you can read them all at www.smartlibrarians.com. And, please; tell your friends about
it!

A Couple
of Library Quotes!
“I still love books.
Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can’t really put a book on
the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I
said, ‘If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper with that
nice smell, then we’ll talk.’ All the computer can give you is a manuscript.
People don’t want to read manuscripts. They want to read books. Books smell
good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your
pocket.”
Ray Bradbury
“It is what you read
when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help
it.”
Oscar Wilde
Library Laughs
Promoting the Media
Center
Several
great ideas have been submitted and about a third of them involve using food as
a theme to promote reading! But, I still need YOUR ideas! For the rest of
August and until my birthday on September 12, I will be collecting YOUR best
ideas for promoting reading and the services of the media center. I will give
away a brand new Kindle Fire 7 in the color of your choice to one of you who
submits an idea. (I’ll do a drawing, since I know they will all be amazing!)
Hit reply and send me an idea! Or several! Every idea submitted goes in the
drawing as a separate entry.
And
thanks to those of you who have already responded. Wow! What great ideas!
See
you next week!
Encouraging
kids to read, I am
