Since virtually everyone who visits this blog is a regular reader of Library Stuff, I really don’t need to point out Steven’s Public Libraries article on the “New Breed” of library weblogs. But here I am, doing it anyway. As always, Steven, thanks for the publicity. I wonder how long I’ll have to keep at it to move from the “New Breed” to the “Old School.” And what will be characteristic of the new “New Breed?”

The Lipstick Librarian recently called for library catchphrases “that resonate with the Youth of Today.” Amongst her offerings:

Get the 411 @ your library
Libraries are phat!
Reading: the booty-call of free entertainment

And my personal favorite:

Wait two hours for your mom to pick you up after school @ your library

Let me offer up a few more:

Libraries: Bustin’ a cap in your information gap.
The porn filters aren’t air-tight @ your library
B to the izz-O O to the izz-K!

And in today’s thrill du jour, David Bigwood gives up some love for my library system.
