Sorry, I don't agree with you. As I see it , anyone who works in a library
helping our clientele is a librarian. When teachers have an aid in the
classroom they call that person a teacher - and she is - for that time and
to those students. When someone comes into the library to find information,
the person who helps them is a librarian. You have the responsibility and
therefore the paycheck to run the library and anyone who is interested will
know that. Don't worry, because someone else is getting the same title, you
are getting respect for what you do for the students and teachers. I have a
lunchtime supervisor who is excellent with the students. She not only keeps
order in the library but has made it her business to know the curriculum and
how to help the students. To my mind, when she is here she is a librarian.
The students, and public when it is a public library, want help and service
when they come to the library and to them, whoever gives it is a librarian.
I have no problem with that.
Anne Howard, Librarian, Pierrefonds Comprehensive High School, Pierrefonds,
Quebec.
