Graduation!

I have an MLS (although I won't have the diploma for 12 to 16 weeks...Wow)!

We got to say a few words at the small graduation ceremony (for library students only) and I forgot to copy down this quote to say...So I'll put it in here.

"We have been called many things in our time: gentle and genteel, modest and mousy, dedicated and dowdy, unprepossessing and underpaid. I hope for the day when we shall be called the belligerent profession, a profession that is informed, illuminated, and radiated by a fierce and beautiful love of books' a love so overwhelming that it engulfs community after community and makes the culture of our time distinctive, individual, creative, and truly of the spirit."--Frances Clarke Sayers, on the subject of children's librarianship
