Not every post on this blog has to be book related, does it?! Just watch this…
This reminds me of something that happened at the American Library Association conference last year in Anaheim. As librarians and exhibitors poured out of the convention center, a deafening screech of brakes turned our collective heads. A mother and her ducklings had been crossing a busy street and the ducklings were too little to hop up the curb to the safety of the sidewalk. The driver of one of the ALA shuttle buses slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting the little fuzz balls. He put his hazard lights on, hopped off the bus and picked up the babies and put them on the sidewalk. Everyone on the bus and on the street started cheering and giving him the thumbs up. It was just one of those moments that gave us all a lift – especially the ducklings!
