12 timeless reasons why libraries are good for the country and why librarians cannot be replaced by search engines: • They inform citizens and help them find not just information but accurate and authoritative information and knowledge. • They break down social boundaries by being open to all. • They level the playing field between the haves and the have-nots, the rich and the poor. • They value the individual and independent thinking and learning beyond the classroom. • They nourish creativity. • They open children’s minds to the world around them. • They return high dividends on a relatively small investment. • They build communities and can be the intellectual centers of the communities they serve, whether that is a town, a university, a school, an organization, or a business. • They challenge you to examine controversies, to understand, and to make your own decisions. • They offer opportunities for lifelong learning. • They provide a safe haven, a sanctuary.

The message of the American Library Association can best be summarized in one word, a word we all understand, a word that holds us together as librarians. That word is “Read.” “Why do we need libraries when all the information in the world is on the internet?” http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/10172010/libraries-now-more-ever The “20st-Century Vision for Libraries” conference, October 13-14 in Islamabad, Pakistan, was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy and the Pakistan Library Association. Leonard Kniffel is editor and publisher of American Libraries and attended the conference at the invitation of the U.S. State Department.

Dearest Family of Prof. L.O. Aina, I join with so many others who knew Pa (Engr) C. O. Aina in offering our deepest sympathy on his home call. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his home call you can celebrate the end of a very long and productive life. The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that Pa (Engr) C. O. Aina indeed was a life well-lived. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him. In Sympathy,

Outpouring of the Spirit By Benny Hinn With a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills and has reservoirs larger than all the oil cartels combined, why is it that the church, the body of Christ, is deficient? Why are so many lamps on the verge of losing their flame? It is time to realize that your fuel is not self-generated. Your intellect, enterprise, and connections are hollow shells and empty in the sight of God. Total reliance on Him is your only salvation. Isaiah put it this way, "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD" (Isaiah 31:1). Poured from on High We cannot ignore the counsel of the spirit or become dependent on the flesh. It is like adding sin upon sin. "Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover
