Child Advocate for her Librarian--"Dear the government"

As reported by children's author Elsa Marston on a librarian's listserv, this letter appeared recently in the Bloomington, Indiana newspaper.

Dear the government,

I don't like that you're firing our school librarians. I am a first-grader at Childs school, and I think that Ms. Williams is a great librarian. She reads wonderful stories, and her voice goes up when it is supposed to and down when it is supposed to.

She helps me find books and makes me interested in reading and makes books
exciting for me. Ms. Williams makes us feel special. She knows each kid's name.

Childs school will never be the same without Ms. Williams in the library.

Why are you firing our school librarians?

Anna W.

If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does!
