			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Top Ten Reasons Why High School Librarians Should Have Books Like &#8216;Lady Cynthia&#8217;s Forbidden Lover&#8217; in Their Collections:</p>
<p>10. It teaches kids about sex ed in an entertaining way.<br />
9. Parents no longer have to have the birds and the bees talk with their kids.<br />
8. It will up your circulation statistics.<br />
7. You&#8217;ll get really good at making &#8216;requests&#8217; in Horizon (automated library program).<br />
6. It will bring kids into the library.<br />
5. You&#8217;ll see and hear from more parents.<br />
4. Students will be quiet during reading time.<br />
3. Students will beg for a few more minutes of free reading time.<br />
2. You&#8217;ll get to spend extra time getting to know your principal, your board members and the superintendent.<br />
1. You&#8217;ll get lots of &#8216;time off&#8217;.</p>
<p>P.S. This is a joke. I really don&#8217;t think hot and heavy bodice ripper novels really should be in high school library collections. Although, sometimes it is fun to make fun of yourself and the seriousness of the occupation.</p>
