Sung to the tune of "God rest ye merry gentlemen"
God rest ye good librarians, let nothing you dismay
Remember by informing it the problem goes away
The patron with unanswered questions hasn't got all day
So-o tell them that you'll help them when you can--not until then
Just tell them that you'll help them when you can.
They want to know where Beirut is and what's considered porn
And how to build an atom bomb and who produces corn
And why the bathrooms on this floor the janitors do scorn
So-o tell them that you'll help them when you can--not until then
Just tell them that you'll help them when you can.
How high can Brahmin cattle jump and where do books renew
The batting profile of the Mets, the formula for glue
And what's the average landspeed of an adult kangaroo
So-o tell them you'll help them when you can--not until then
Just tell them that you'll help them when you can.

I have the deepest respect for librarians.
They do more good every day than Congress does damage all year. I would rather see gun control than library control because ideas are the ultimate fearsome weapon.

You're not far off, Helen Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but unlike charity, it should end there --Clare Booth Luce

Librarains are doing their part in the Resistance Movement. I also salute all Librarians - our fellow Patriots!
