Old Spice Guy on Libraries
I once got a ticket driving to a library event 200 miles away. The library is often the first place I turn to for a book. And I’d rather live in a world with potholes than one without libraries. So, I loved this video of Mustafa, the Old Spice Guy, speaking about libraries.

I thought you might like to read this blog post. I recently used it with my sophomore English class to talk about satire. You’re on the schedule for the local library here soon (Cbus,IN) and I’m looking forward to hearing you speak (and bribing my high schoolers into going too).
Alison, loved the essay, especially the bits about Huck Finn. I’m looking forward to my visit next week to the Cbus library. See you there!
