Hold the Fort; We’re Coming Back!

“It is already the worst year in decades, and it is only two months old. We haven’t seen such a damnable parade of disasters in ages. Yet despite all the unrelenting troubles in our world, our nation, and our profession, there are a few signals of hope, signs that we’ve been strengthened by the current adverse arc of conditions. We are reminded, once again, that our ups and downs come in cycles and that the foul weather will come to an end. Our work must be to shorten the cycle and bring the upswing soon” (from Library Journal)
