LIBRARY SLOGAN ART FOR BUTTONS, PINS, BADGES (whatever you like to call them)

ASK ME WHAT TO READ.
Go ahead. I dare you.
LIBRARY TECHS RULE!
Because we do.
LIBRARY GUIDE : HOW MAY I HELP?
For volunteers, or student helpers, or whoever. I think "Guide" is a nice general term, right?
     I want to make some pin-back button badge thingies, some for my fellow library technicians, and also for anyone who might be working in the library such as volunteers.
     In the school district I work in, they got rid of all the credentialed site Librarians, so we Library Technicians are running the show 100% of the time. And I feel like we work hard and know what we're doing, so bitches better RESPECT.
     Also, because of the lack of staffing, my trusty library volunteers (secret identities: my mom & my aunt!) have really stepped up and worked hard to keep various services and programs running for the sake of the kids.
     Just sayin'.

VINTAGE BOOK FROM 1986 : "I Hate School"

I HATE SCHOOL : How to hang in & when to drop out
by Claudine G. Wirths & Mary Bowman-Kruhm
Illustrations by Patti Stren

     One of my fellow library technicians sent this to me. It was a result of one of her weeding frenzies, ditching obsolete materials. This is from 1986, and "school" was a pretty different animal then than it is now.
     I like how the subtitle, "How to hang in & when to drop out" indicates that dropping out might be a valid option for you. Maybe if you're, like, SUPER fucked-up, they advise you to go ahead and quietly drop out. Ride the rails as a hobo, maybe.
     Either my friend only sent me the dust jacket, or I lost the book itself, because all I have is this dust jacket and many questions about the dropping out option. Should I have dropped out? I really REALLY hated school. What if I chose poorly by deciding to "hang in?" Shit.
