Why Librarians Should Be More Like Lady Gaga

I’ve always been famous, it’s just no one knew it yet.
— Lady Gaga

From a piece in the Washington Post about how to keep libraries and librarians relevant...

Shift perception! We need to be more like Lady GaGa than Lady Bird Johnson. We need to establish a clear, pervasive, vibrant, and involved presence in their school, community, and on the web. The more visible librarians are the less likely that they’ll be taken away. Those teacher librarians who are hiding their brilliant programs under a bushel, that’s when they’re most likely to get cut. We need to stay positive, be proactive, and always be professional!”
