A while back, I found the above letter in an issue of American Libraries. I want this poster to be real.
Doctor Who is one of my favorite television shows, and it happens to embody the essence of libraries. Libraries stand for freedom of and access to information. The Doctor likes to share information so that people can survive the shenanigans he puts them through. Granted, much of that information is simply the command "Run!" - but I digress.
The Doctor is all about preserving the unique "stuff" he encounters. In many ways, he's an alien archivist. He would rather save something than destroy it. And, he hangs out with one kick-ass archeologist.
Most importantly, The Doctor encourages intellectual curiosity. He wants to know knew things, and share what he has learned. Why else would he travel through all of time and space?
And then, there is this quote:
If you are a Photoshop master or happen to work on the ALA READ posters for a living, can we make this happen?
