The article was rolling along so well with great quotes like "...she's =20= an unabashed booster of her profession: "The role of a librarian is to =20= make sense of the world of information. If that's not a qualification =20= for superhero-dom, what is?" Yep, that's us! Then came "...quintessential librarian-... iron fist inside a velvet =20 glove. And she doesn't take herself too seriously." Hmmmmm. now that =20= one I guess is OK, but " iron fist in a velvet glove defines =20 'quintessential librarian" "??? Guess I'd prefer other definitions. But then came the choice between the bun popping off (yep, my bun came =20= off years ago) or the removable book with the action-oriented shussing =20= finger. But sure wish Ms. Pearl had been a little more realistic when =20= she said " Pearl predicts that the shushing motion =97 triggered by a =20= button on the doll's back =97 will determine "which librarians have a =20= sense of humor." She likes to believe that today's librarians are =20 secure enough in their work that they won't take offense at the old =20 clich=E9. " My question-- then why perpetuate the old cliche?? That thought =20 referred me back to the earlier quote of ""...she's an unabashed =20 booster of her profession..." Hmmmm. Maybe an opportunity lost.
