Q. Why do we need librarians anyway?

A.
In a world that’s information rich, librarians are
information smart. They save time and money by helping
to find the exact information needed. They teach
children the joy of reading, and seniors how to surf the
Internet. Helping and teaching others to find and
evaluate information is a unique skill that librarians bring.
