This talk is not going to dwell on the matter that librarians lack a good word - much less an official motto <font color="#1F497D">–</font> to describe the work we do. <font color="#1F497D"> </font>Instead, a case will be made for a new program to be designed
to get more librarians working within more organizations in more communities.</div>
