[Web4lib] Is there any way to include this in a newsletter or similar publication?

This response is satisfying:
"Let's get one thing cleared up first - Liberians live in Liberia,
librarians run libraries."

Here's the Franklin High School, Milford, Massachusetts library website:

Perhaps the "librarian" was not an MLS-holding librarian, or even a graduate
of a certificate program. The books in the OPAC don't seem to have call
numbers.
Or maybe the principal had their IT person delete the call numbers as part
of B&N-style make-over.

My favorite was in the comments. I get so tired of defending my
profession....
 
"Liberians did not do anything except sit behind their desks looking at
the sign in/ sign out sheet all day and telling kids how to use that
stupid book progam. My 11 year old cousin could do that... What
significant value did you/they ever have to offer in the contribution of
making a FHS a better learning environment?"
