Librarian's Vow

As your librarian I vow
To treat you with respect
Whether you are royalty or reject.

As your librarian I vow
To protect all your rights
Whether I agree or not with your fights.

As your librarian I vow
You'll have access to any datum
And you shall be given all, verbatim.

As your librarian I vow
No question is too strange
To have its answer outside of my range.

As your librarian I vow
To keep all your secrets
No matter how much the government frets.

As your librarian I vow
To be cost efficient
Part of your taxes should be sufficient.

As your librarian I vow
To teach you today's skills
To get a better job to pay your bills.

As your librarian I vow
To get you what you need
So that a free and full life you can lead.
