[Publib] Profit free, free librarian stickers

[Rawles-Heiser, Carolyn]

 This has gotten kind of off topic for Publib, don't you think?   I don't think we should be having personal arguments online here!

This was well before I became a librarian or even started library school.

However, the other person knew that it was not his idea and still had no qualms about stealing it.
