LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Hello, LM_Netters,
Wow, what a wonderful response I received about slogans promoting
reading and books! Thanks to all of you! Here is my Hit!
___________________________________________________________
Some of my favorites:
The person who doesn't read is just as ignorant as the person who
can't read.
Anything can happen when you open a book.
Your future is an open book.
The more you read the more you know;
The more you know the stronger your voice
For speaking your mind and making your choice.
*My favorite of all: Reading is possibly the only true magic.

To the wonderful world of books.
