Only connect! ... Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will
be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in
fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed
of the isolation that is life to either, will die.
E.M. Forster, Howards End

It’s about communication.
There’s a giver and a receiver; one person with a message, whether emotional, rational, spiritual or all three; and there’s a receiver.
It’s not about whether the message is on paper, or screen; or whether the medium is symbolic, visual or auditory.
The teacher-librarian is the go-between; and the profession, a honourable one.
