Library! (please pronounce with gusto)

I was recently reminded of one of the great Boise landmarks that truly should be included in any respectable tour of the greater boise area ...the Boise Library!

Every city has a library you say? Oh my friends this is not just a library- it is a library! And that exclamation point makes a big difference.

For example in Toledo: "Kids, it's time to go to the library."

In Boise: "Kids, it's time to go to the library! (please pronounce a little higher and louder than usual and with a sense of urgency)

In Dallas: "Kids we need to take our books back to the library."

In Boise: "Kids we need to take our books back to the library! (please pronounce as if you have just won the lottery)

I love that exclamation point. It says alot about a place.

I guess I am the reminder. Keep your fingers crossed that my many hours of PR work will get our library bond passed here in Springville on Nov.4 I can't even tell you the lengths to which I have gone and continue to go, hence "being a good sport" for TV4 and doing a spider story first hoping for publicity for the library next.
