Dear God, Please let me get through summer reading without getting bodily dismembered by rabid middle schoolers - especially on those days when I have to address 300 of them at once on the last hour of the day on a Friday in June. Please. Thanks, Anna P.S. Ok, this isn't really a P.S. to … Continue reading A librarian’s prayer (or this librarian’s prayer)
