Are you proud of your library?

Everything is Connected

A good library is like a good haircut. It’s not what you cut – it’s what you leave.

Anne Felix, Grand Prairie (TX) Public Library Systemhttp://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/crew/crewmethod08.pdf

…But we’ve always done it that way

…But the public doesn’t “get” it

…But I don’t have time

…But it’s

historical

…But someone

might need it

…But we won’t have anything left

…But it’s in

good shape
