Librarians Find Fault In Gay Pride Stance
Many see themselves as warriors for intellectual freedom - the
public's right to think and read what it wants. They see themselves
as professional arbiters of information who are ultimately
responsible for upholding that right.

CAREER & ADULT PROGRAM LIBRARIANS NEEDED AS RADIO GUESTS
"Careers In Action" (the CIA) is a national radio show on XM
Satellite. They need Career and Adult Programming Librarians as show
guests. Since America's libraries are so well equipped to help
job-seekers execute a job-search, it's critical their voice is added
to the show.
They need a few brave librarians to join the CIA (there is no fee,
charge or donation of any type sought).

If you want to help those who are struggling to build a successful
career path, men and women just like patrons at your very own
library, please call
Robert at 866-377-2242.
