Dearest creators- I was hired by the Hanover High School not only to provide librarian services to the children who attend, but also to keep organization and structure to the overall library environment. This includes not only books and electronic resources, but also the overwhelming number of students who rely on such services. My efforts at your high school are not in any manner focused on the behavioral modification of rowdy or otherwise disturbing children, but to provide an environment that facilitates peaceful study for those who may be attempting to do so. I do not mean to imply that you and your colleagues in website production aren't likely to take advantage of a quiet and peaceful library, but that perhaps they do not choose to recognize the amount of work that goes into promoting such an environment. As you move through life (perhaps into college and maybe even graduate study) you will soon begin to recognize the value of a structured environment. It is the teaching of librarians like myself that guides you through the rest of your library experiences - and therefore I feel it is my responsibility to ensure you understand the seriousness that goes along with this. It is your prerogative whether or not you take advantage of the resources our library provides, but you must understand that when you enter what you refer to as the "Labyrinth of Doom," you are no longer in the hallways hanging out with friends. You are entering a place where knowledge is shared and expanded upon, and I do not find certain actions as appropriate as they may seem to you. I may not be your mother, but I do feel that so long as you rely on my services for assistance you must respect my views towards the conservation of common ethics and character. I suggest a simple overview of common spelling errors during your next visit to my library, as this may be helpful when composing such e-mails. "catolog" "sincerley" Thank you for your continued attention,

Marilyn Blight-- It's been many a long sleepless night, that we have been plotting out method of representing our opinion of your strict policies and conservative ethics. Your style of "teaching" and attitude towards children have inspired many conversations outside of your library, otherwise known as the "Labyrinth of Doom." Marilyn, we believe here at www.geocities.com/ilovemully, that we weren't attacking your character, but hoping to critique your outdated methods, for we believe variety is indeed the spice of live. There are silent study areas in many places around the school, why then, must simple conversation be so extremely penalized in the large group study area of the library? one alternative we have thought of may work quite well: Buy one-hundred electric shock dog collars, and attach them to the necks of every student who enters the library. When the noise level exceeds that of what is considered an "inside voice" (about 60 decibels), you can simply press the large button on your master remote, and discipline us with a quick burst of pain. The beauty of this plan is that you wouldn't even have to step foot out of your glass cubicle. The second alternative we thought of was to somehow be more accustomed to civil human interaction. Hopefully you can think of more alternatives in your spare time. We are honored that you took the time to look over our site, and hope you realize the effort and time put into it.From this experience, we have learned how to use HTML, and more importantly how to effectively use our first amendment rights to voice our opinion. Through the use of satire, we have become legends. Thank you for the humorous, life long memories. Do you have anything you would like to see added to the site? We will provide space for anything you have to say; both points of view are essential to peoples understanding of the site, and your position. Thank you for your time, and for not taking offense.
Sincerley, The Creators
