[Libs-Or] A poem for the occasion

[Mark KILLE]

I have my own reservations about, basically, using critical race theory (
http://spacrs.wordpress.com/what-is-critical-race-theory/) as a deciding
factor when evaluating solutions for essential daily library functions. But
it's a jerk move to make fun of people who have it incorporated into their
professional values. It's certainly a valid way of approaching the Library
Bill of Rights' (http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill)
insistence that libraries exist to serve *all people of the community*. In
any case, dismissing it as unworthy of engagement--as nothing more than a
joke--just supports its most basic claims.

Best,
Mark
