If You Give A Teacher a Cookie
//apologies to Laura Numeroff// If you give a teacher a cookie. Chances are, she'll come by the library to say "thanks." When she does, she'll probably want to look at all the professional section. She'll want to sign some out, Then she'll see shelves of periodicals and DVDs in the cabinets. She'll probably look around and notice books about EVERYTHING!!! She'll want to know about the ___ (fill in something unique about your library) And the patron catalog and United Streaming and other kinds of educational materials. All that discovering will make her hungry, And when she goes to the desk to check out her books, she'll probably ask if You have any more cookies. (Source Unknown)
