My second comment (in a row):

I took the liberty of forwarding this to a colleague at another academic library, who forwarded it to several of her colleagues including the library director, whose comment was:

'Wow, this is fascinating. thanks. '

Maybe we should start posting these statements around the library in staff areas. Maybe a 'quote of the week' to help getting us think about our purpose. I also think that some of the responses are equally potent.

A "quote of the week" for the staff bulletin boards? That is a noteworthy idea, I think.
