"Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog's ear.  They
could catalog you.  Librarians wield unfathomable power.  With a flip of
the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and
Stream magazines.  They can find data for your term paper that you never
knew existed...Librarians rule." --Erica Olsen

Although I can't find Yvette Cabrera's column on the Register online,
y'all should know that Richard Moore was featured in her column today,
April 1, 2008.  It begins, "It can be depressing hearing Richard K.
Moore talk."  Then she goes on to say, "Don't get me wrong.  Moore
himself is a fascinating, walking Wikipedia of sorts who fires off
literacy statistics, state reading rankings and historical dates so fast
my pen can barely keep up.  The depressing part is hearing Moore
describe the state of California's school library system."  Yep, she was
obviously talking to our Richard and he didn't mince any words.  The
column is entitled "Make School Libraries a Priority," and where it is
continued, it reads "Shortchanged Schools."

If you live in Orange County, look for the article.  I cut it out but
now I'm not sure which section it was in--Local maybe?  My husband
spotted this morning and pointed it out to me.
