"In
the public psyche, a librarian is a woman of indeterminate age, who wears spectacles;
a person with either a timorous disposition or an austere disposition, wearing
a long sleeved blouse buttoned to the neck; someone who loves silence, likes
books, and suffers people. Librarians don't laugh. They are covered with a thin
film of dust. They have pale skins, which, when touched (as if one ever could)
might flake and prove to be reptilian scales."
~ Alison
Hall, "Behind the Bun, or Batgirl was a Librarian "

"No one is obliged
to become a librarian. It must be a relief to parents in the provinces that
their runaway daughters are unlikely to be met at Euston station by evil men
who force them to become librarians."
