Go For It!

Time

Know the true value of time; snatch, seize and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness...never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Heroes

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.

Arthur Ashe

The hero of the future will be that individual with the great mission to overcome the mass feeling of alienation and self-inadequacy. He will recognize that this struggle starts not with his community, nor even with his principal organization, but rather it starts with himself.

Eugene E. Jennings

Thriller in LibraryLand

Michael Jackson's Thriller (complete with bookcarts!) performed by the National Library of Australia Staff at their 2008 Christmas Party.



Awesome -- and yes they must be new carts -- all I could think was that really wouldn't work with some of the carts at my library unless you greased them real well.

It also made me of think back to college when we had cart races late at night in the library...fun times!
