Over the next three hours, I absorbed the things my instructor was teaching, but I also found myself reflecting on a bunch of things he wasn't trying to teach at all – unless he's really good at Jedi mind tricks !

It sounded great, until her last comment: She told me that it was a really important program, because libraries are the heart of the community…well, in elementary schools at least.
