Jenne writes “As a future librarian, who immediately thinks of “Slaughterhouse Five” when I hear the word Dresden, I appreciate Kurt Vonnegut’s praise for librarians:
“Music (especially the blues) cheers him, as do people who behave decently. Librarians, too – ‘not famous for their physical strength’ – who resist having books removed from shelves and refuse to give names of people who have checked out certain books in the era of the Patriot Act.
‘The America I loved,’ he writes, ‘still exists in the front desks of public libraries.’
Thank you, Mr. Vonnegut!”
