Thanks for the comments, Barbara. Your arguement is very convincing.
Most who have e-mailed me personally are as surprised to hear a
librarian say that as I was. I *did*, however, wonder if perhaps the
young lady was a bit defensive about being a librarian. If her family or
district or friends had made fun of her for being a "bookworm", perhaps
she said what she did to ward off expected comments. Who knows....but I
hope she doesn't say that to children. Thanks for expressing a very good
opinion!
