There are those who say all of the woes in the Duchy go back to the reign of infamous King Hairboy and the nefarious actions that vanquished (or vanished) the well-loved Library Queen. Could it be that Hairboy looted the Duchy treasury to pay for hair products and styling?
The D1 Summit meeting with the Dots and White Queen has been rescheduled and expanded to include the Black Dot Queen. The Dots will be going over their agendas again to make sure that all of the important issues are covered. A big item on the agenda will probably be the Black Queen's not very well concealed desire to make them all disappear. An unreliable source reports that some librarians also feel that the Black Queen would like librarians to disappear also. Maybe the White Queen is hearing this in the other meetings as well.
To cheer you up even further, Pennsylvania has just opened a new high school with NO LIBRARY (Microsoft helped.) To read an opinion from someone who doesn't think Google makes a good librarian, click here.

Pennsylvania is exploring the corporate way of shafting students. How can you expect a business man like Bill Gates to formulate a school like this one and not have every facet of the "learning" process require one of his products. Can you say "conflict of interest"? And the ones who will pay the price are the students. It all sounds very "future utopia" and 1984 to me.

I am so glad I do not live in Pennsylvania Hamlet!
The thought of a school without a library full of books makes me weep. Why can't people (including the Black Queen) realize that books and technology CAN exist side by side, and our children and grandchildren can be the better for it.
