This is it

This probably best articulates why I want to do what I do:

A free public library is a revolutionary notion, and when people don't have free access to books, then communities are like radios without batteries. The entire flow of communication is bricked off. You cut people off from incredible sources of information -- mythical, practical, linguistic, or political -- and you break them. You render them helpless in the face of political oppression. We were not going to let this happen.

The longer I work in a library, even as a drone, the more I feel like librarians are the LAST defense of free information, and the more I want to smack the librarians who just think of it as a 9-5 job.
