"SSSSHHHHHH!!!!!"

"Generally speaking, I think the stereotypical librarian is more like a machine than a human being. This means that he or she enforces rules and preserves order. In a favorable way, it can also mean that he or she has amazing recall of where things are and can dig up the right fact when needed - there's a such a librarian in The Da Vinci Code.

Librarians help others but don't pursue agendas of their own. Thus we are servants and have to fight for respect. On the other hand, we are PUBLIC servants and so represent authority, which makes some patrons afraid of us."
