TL9.1Larry 26 Ontario School Library Association vision (Ontario Knowledge Network for Learning?) will individual school libraries and library staffs give up their independence to the shared networking of not only school library information centres, but of all libraries. The value to our students and to their lifetime achievements will be strength- ened immeasurably and our view of our- selves as professionals will mature and change in the process. TTLL: How do you spend your "down time"? L.M.: I love movies: François Truffaut's Les Quatre Cent Coups made me go into teaching. I enjoy theatre, sometimes to the point of obsession: I took twen- ty-eight people in five different outings to see Michael Healey's extraordinary The Drawer Boy. I like everything George F. Walker has written, everything written or directed by Robert Lepage, even when individual pieces haven't worked, but I just cannot abide Jason Sherman or Carol Thompson for some strange reason. I love to go to base- ball games although the Jays have certainly tested my loyalty this past sum- mer. I enjoy anything that stretches the boundaries of creativity and the the fact that people can still find new and original ways to express themselves never fails to give me goose bumps. TTLL: Can you share your favourite reads or viewing? L.M.: I am currently reading everything in sight by Ian Rankin [currently on the best- seller fiction list with The Falls], something I haven't done in years, maybe decades. The plots are often convoluted but they are mar- vels of characterization, place and mood. Each one refreshes me. I do not watch much television. When I do, I watch news, films, and such documentary-based shows as The Passionate Eye. TTLL: Thanks, Larry, for kicking off this series in such style, and sharing your enthusiasm for the goals of school library programs, as well as your own passions, with our readers. z 2001. Larry greets the Hon. Adrienne Clarkson at the 100th Anniversary of the Ontario Library Association. Larry has been part of the last third of OLA's one hundred year history and is inordinately proud of the librarians who have provided the library leadership that makes OLA and Ontario libraries great.
