Let us give thanks to Librarians


Writer and Professor Junot Diaz in an opinion piece in the SMH on the 26th May talks about how a librarian may have actually been responsible for keeping him on the straight and narrow. He also give thanks to Literature he says "Literature is in my estimation best understood as a record of our human selves: of our frailties, of our follies, of our errors, of our limitations, of our fears, of our delusions, of our evasions and of our vulnerabilities." It opens the door to compassion in our brief lives.
A great read.
