** High Priority **

Hi ~

Noise in the Library? How terrible!

I am wondering what people think when they pass my library and the kinders =
are dancing to Raffi's "Tinga-layo" or we are singing the 'Index Song' for =
2nd graders.  We like to get into the stories and when I am reading aloud =
to the class I think they should be participating with all the squeaks and =
yells and grunts!

It's those monotone readers that want little statues in front of them that =
cause Charles Schultz to write the Peanuts cartoons like last night....when=
 Linus fails "storytime" because he fell asleep.

To me a quiet library is intimidating.  Just my 5 cents worth.
