I love this cheer. I taught it to my storytime team last December when I gave everyone cheap pompoms and we cheered for our accomplishments in 2015. Plus we ate cookies. Anyway, I *swear* my first library boss taught this to me (which would have been mid-90s), but now I can&#8217;t find it online except for here (mid-2000s): <a href=\"http:\/\/advocate4libraries.csla.net\/2006\/11\/library-cheer.html\" title=\"Library Advocate: Library Cheer\" target=\"_blank\">Library Cheer<\/a> (on the no-longer-updated Library Advocate blog), so if you have an earlier citation, I&#8217;d love to know about it! <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YGDEoVPTnO0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>PS: If there&#8217;s one thing that I knew but I really truly finally learned for sure in the last 2 years of New-Supervisordom, it&#8217;s that saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t let perfect be the enemy of good.&#8221; Exhibit A is this video! Getting the good (or not-so-good even) thing done is a solid first step and will give you something to revise and polish as you go. So many times, doing something imperfectly-but-well-enough-for-now beats not doing anything&#8230;OR beats doing something SUPER well but kind of chewing yourself up in the process. (Trust me, I&#8217;ve tested both alternatives.)<\/p>\n<p>I hope your summers are giving you something to cheer about&#8211;I&#8217;m cheering for YOU! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Awhile ago Bryce asked a few people she knew if they&#8217;d be willing to make a Summer Reading pep talk video, just for fun, that she could share with the staff at her libraries to cheer them on.
