This is the stuff that dreams are made of (excuse me Mr. Disney).

This is the answer to why anyone being paid a salary in a school should be
doing something other than checking AR points.

This should be woven into why having a school library full of interesting
books to read for pleasure and everything else to read for information.
This is the reason for having a person in charge who can help children.

In my earlier teaching days, I used to suggest that students needlepoint
magnificant things to hang behind the circulation area. This is something
that needs to be hung in the hall over the office, in the teacher's
lounge, in every classroom, and in the library.
