This book is dedicated to Miriam Lykke, an ESL teacher for many years at Senn High School in Chicago whose mantra was “Never borrow money to pay for education. Instead research ways to get scholarships, go to a college you can afford to attend, work to earn the tuition before you enroll, or work while you go to class,” and to my granddaughter, Laura Woolls, and her three Georgetown roommates, Deserea Brio, Frankie Rubio, and Julie Zovak, who continue to share family and friends after they have finished that step in their lives. They are examples of how to follow Miriam’s edict. —Blanche Dedicated to all the librarians who step out of their comfort zone to try new things, who share their wisdom widely, and who support others as we all take those courageous steps to bring information, imagination, and serendipity to each and every student we encounter. Thank you, each and every one of you. —Connie
