Subject Cataloging with LCSH: Striving for precision but accepting almost anything

But still, I want to share the anecdote.

I had a coworker tell me I 'd be the flight attendant who could tell passengers the plane was going down and still make everyone feel okay about it. Help me translate that into a cover letter without sounding like a smug jerk.

Kurt Vonnegut self-portrait (Indianapolis Public Library)

“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.” ― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

Happy Birthday, Kurt! (November 11, 1922)
