Heros Like Libraries

I thought this Captain Sully guy was pretty awesome before. Now he's captured my heart.

When Captain Sullenberger's plane went down in the Hudson, Sully's library book went with it. Instead of saying, "Meh." Sully informed they library of their loss. In return, the library is (rightfully I might add) waiving all lost and damaged fees.

Sully for President 2012!

In all seriousness, I truly does make my toes tingle with joy whenever I hear about someone stepping up and returning a severely lost / damaged / replacement book to a library. Too often we hear about people denying their problems or mistakes. I'm looking at you Blago.

Just remember folks, we librarians can be tough.
