I changed the narrative of the image. Truly showing that no one understands what is done in this occupation. That rather than having people from the below homes look out, which would suggest curiosity or mild appreciation, there is no one. This educational hero helps through the decades in schools, towns, and cities a like. The quiet homes suggest there is no appreciation in the work of librarians. The original text has them identified as valued, but no one knows what they do or shows open gratitude. Books are necessary for information and imagination-- and the sometimes overlap of the two. As if to deny your mind the depth of books is to hold it hostage, away from the capacity of discovered potential. I add supposed conversation and comments-- instead of 'Santa' bringing presents on Christmas, she brings books and shares their wonder all year round. This silence isn't because people are watching tv, it is because these people are engrossed in books, or should be.
I remixed to show more community appreciation and support of the essential help and love of books of this position.
