Radical, Militant, Librarian

Couldn't help but enjoy this passage from a blog I read a little earlier today via LISNews....

Believing in access to information as a human right means fighting for our communities. Fighting to make sure the digital divide continues to shrink. Fighting for privacy for our users. Fighting against the entire concept of censorship and lately, fighting for libraries. So this is my call to arms. Librarians are revolutionaries, and society needs us. And no I don’t mean killing all the things with fire. True thought leaders, true revolutionaries, are willing to overthrow the system, or join it, if that’s what works best for their community.
- Amy Buckland, The talk I meant to give (Source: in forming thoughts)

It reminded me of this picture of a badge I came across a few years ago....


Here's a link to my previous post on Save Our Libraries Day and my personal battle for the library where I work (more news of which to come)....
