Hi Everybody,
I proudly embrace the librarian image!! I wear a cardigan (it's always
so chilly in my library!), wind my hair up into a bun pierced with
chopsticks, and wear little pink glasses. I think it's great!

Subject: Re: Librarian Image
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.
