Helping everyone

It's the job of all librarians to reach as many patrons as possible. We shouldn't limit ourselves to helping people who are only like ourselves. Rather we need to break away from our comfort zone. This means even helping a big yellow bird! Remember patrons, no matter what they look like, talk like, smell like are all just searching for some type of information. Let's do them and our profession a favor by serving everyone the same.

Information literacy is for old and young alike. Everyone wants to know how to find, how to evaluate, and how to use information. And it's our job to help them begin and complete the process.
