Slogans For Library School

This is a list of potential slogans to put on our class t-shirts last semester – provided by classmates, other students, faculty, staff, alumni, library joke sites and more.  Some are pretty obvious, some are in-jokes that only our class would get.  I've put the winning choice in bold and her personal favourite in italic.
