Weed This

“A library is not just a building full of books. It is a garden to cultivate individuals” —Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon (quoted in American Libraries Direct).

With this quote in mind, consider how some terms associated with the library relate to the garden and horticulture:

  • annual
  • arChives
  • browsing
  • carr(ot)els
  • currant periodicals
  • dew date
  • I pea address
  • jour(mi)nal
  • kaleword searching
  • microfarm
  • newspepper
  • on vine database
  • peariodical
  • refe-reed
  • serial


And would those who dig into text, but remain uncultivated, be "weeders"?
