Oppenheimer: Albert, that's brilliant!

Einstein: Thank you, Bob. We can do so much when inspired.

Oppenheimer: I can see! The lyrics are fabulous!

I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world

I asked why the library didn't have a Juneteenth holiday. The response was "It's not one in the policy manual." I wrote to the trustees, they put it on the agenda, voted unanimously for it, and now it's a library holiday.
