Madeline Douglass writes \”
Michael Moore on how librarians saved Stupid White Men…
(#1 on the New York Times Best Seller List)
\”This book is not coming out and we\’re going to pulp it…so anyway the next day I was speaking out at the New Jersey Public Citizen Action meeting and I told them the story
about that last night I got the word that this book isn\’t going to come out and I\’d like somebody to be able to read it.
I bought it with me.
I\’ll read a chapter. I read a chapter.
Apparently there was this librarian in the audience
(nobody I knew) who then went home and got into all the librarian chat rooms…where librarians secretly conspire with each other and she tells this story to all the librarians and then one of them writes this letter up and sends it to all these librarian listservs and websites and within days Harper Collins is being inudated with angry, angry hate mail from librarians…So I get this call from Harper Collins, \”What did you tell the librarians?\”
Listen to the Speech that celebrates the power
of librarians and individuals to make
a difference…
Listen to the Speech that will make George W. Bush wish that J. Edgar Hoover and Joe McCarthy were still alive…
