“Child of the Library” Library Closures Protest Song

“A sea of story waits for you behind the library door,
Don’t say we can’t afford it anymore”

Piers Cawley sings his “Child of the Library” song at OSCON in July 2011.  I’d love this song simply for the music and his wonderful voice, but add the lyrics and it’s a powerful library protest anthem. Thank you to OSCON for recording this and to Piers for the song.

Lyrics

A Child of the Library

Chorus:
I’m a Child of the Lib’ry, it made me who I am,
It taught me about freedom and the fellowship of Man
A sea of story waits for you behind the lib’ry door,
Don’t say we can’t afford them any more.
