78. 73There are many ways to describe Ms. Underdorf. She was brilliant and joyous, and she believed-probably correctly-that libraries contain the answers to everything, and that if you can’t find the information you seek in the library, then such information probably does not exist in this or any other parallel universe now or ever to be known. She was thoughtful and kind and always believed the best of everybody. She was, above all else, a master librarian and knew where to find any book on any subject in the shortest possible time. And she was wonderfully unhinged… And so the Amazing Armadillo.

179. “Watching from the outside, Twitter is like the dumbest thing you’ve heard of: “Why would anyone want to tell others what they are doing in 140 characters?” And yet to dismiss Twitter is a mistake because it’s an incredibly powerful tool for your personal learning and connecting with others.”(Sue Waters, http://suewaters.wikispaces.com/twitter, @suewaters Original quote: Alan Levine)

193. I Dream in Twitter (listen to the podcast http://www.box.net/shared/static/gqkaej08ww.mp3) I dream in Twitter in 140 characters that cut off my thoughts before they are complete and then I wonder, why 140? Ten more letters would serve me right as I write about what I am doing at that moment in time, connecting across the world with so many others shackled by 140 characters, too, and I remain amazed at how deep the brevity can be.

194. I find it unsettling to eavesdrop on conversations between two when you can only read one and it startles me to think that someone else out there has put their ear to my words and wondered the same about me. Whose eyes are watching? Twitter is both an expanding universe of tentacles and hyperlinks that draw you in with knowledge and experience and a shrinking neighborhood of similar voices, echoing out your name in comfortable silence.

200. As readers, we have rightsAs we finish up, keep in mind…

201. Rights of the readerYou have the right never to apologize for your reading tastes. Readers’ rightsYou have the right to read anywhere you want—in the bathtub, in the car (preferably at stop lights if you're driving), in the grocery store, under the porch, or while walking the dog.

202. Readers’ rightsYou have the right to read in exotic settings. You have the right to move your lips when you read. You have the right to laugh or gasp out loud and choose whether or not to explain.

203. You have the right to throw any book on the floor and jump up and down on it (the Dorothy Parker Rule). Rights of readers

204. You have the right to read anything you want. Readers’ Rights

205. You have the right to read the book spine of the person sitting next to you, even on a plane. And if you can't make it out, you have the right to ASK. Rights of the reader

206. Read to thembySteven Layne

207. Read to them.Before the time is gone and stillness fills the room again. Read to them.What if it were meant to be that you were the one, the only one, who could unlock the doors and share the magic with them? What if others have been daunted by such scheduling demands, district objectives, or one hundred other obstacles?

208. Read to them.Be confident Charlotte has been able to teach them about friendship and Horton about self worth. Be sure the Skin Horse has been able to deliver his message.

209. Read to them.Let them meet Tigger, Homer Price, Aslan, and Corduroy; take them to Oz, Prydain and Camazotz. Show them a Truffalo Tree.

210. Read to them.Laugh with them at Soup and Rob, and cry with them when the Queen of Terabithia is forever lost. Allow the Meeker family to turn loyalty, injustice, and war into something much more than a vocabulary lesson.
