A is for Access, a large part of our creed.
B is for Books. Those bound paper thingies you read?
C is for Computer, with keys and with locks.
D is for Data, some basic building blocks.
E is for Education, with ideas that once baffled.
F is for Free, but remember TANSTAAFL. (1)
G is for Guide through the data-packed mist.
H is for Helpful. We like to assist!
I is for Information, both action and item.
J is for Journals. We love and deride ’em.
K is for Knowledge, our most noble quest.
L is for Library. You couldn’t have guessed?
M is for MARC, strange numbers and fields. (2)
N is for Network. Working together, to get greater yields.
O is for Overdue. Come in and renew ’em.
P is for Patrons. Or «Customers» in TQM. (3)
Q is for Question, which sets all into motion.
R is for Reading. What a radical notion!
S is for Searching those intellectual mazes.
T is for Thank-you, among other praises.
U is for Unknown, a great place to explore.
V is for Value. More MORE MORE MORE!!!!
W is for Whispering, the way we all spoke.
X is for Xerox®. Paperless? Us? What a joke!
Y is for Yellow, worn at graduation. (4)
Z is for Libraries. (In LC classification!) (5)

1) Acronym for «There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch», from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, by Robert A. Heinlein
2) «The MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging) formats are standards for the representation and communication of bibliographic and related information in machine-readable form.»
3) Acronym for «Total Quality Management.» This was a management trend in the 1990s.
4) The color of the hood! Lemon yellow is the color for library science.
5) Okay, so the Library of Congress Classification Outline has it as «library science,» but Z is the class for works on libraries, librarianship, and related topics.

Why I Am in Love with Librarians

I love how they know things
only to pass them on,
how they fade into the faux-wood-panelled
walls of the reference room,
their faces hidden between the covers of books,

How they look up only to help you:
What is the capital of Afghanistan?
How do the Maori bury their dead?
Who invented Barbie? How many were murdered in
Guatemala in ’84?

-Every query worthy of their attention,
any questioner taken seriously,
curiosity the only requirement.
I love how they listen, their lined faces opening,
their eyes already elsewhere:

Scanning a plain for the lights of a distant city,
Hunting for bodies in the highlands,
searching the web for Barbie-
their minds like those flocks of little birds in winter
swooping over a landscape, looking, looking.

And always when they get back to you,
that sweet smile on their faces,
pride and deep affection for what can be known,
as if Barbie’s invention
or the tally of the massacred

Could save you, could save the world!
And who knows if Stalin or Hitler
had spent their youth in the library,
history might be rewritten,
re-catalogued by librarians?

Curiosity sends us out
to a world both larger and smaller
than what we know and believe in
with a passion for finding an answer
or at least understanding our questions.

That road is paved with librarians,
bushwhackers, scouts with string
through the labyrinths of information,
helpers who disappear the moment
you reach your destination.

Julia Alvarez
