Sorry ladies. I wear glasses and wear my hair in a bun. Without my
glasses I can't see up close, and I have no desire to have laser surgery.
My hair is well below my knees and would get in my way if I wore it down.
Again, I have no desire to cut my hair.
I do not have a problem with the "stereotypical" image of librarians. In
fact, my childhood memories of such a librarian are positive ones.
