Hi, Judy & All:
Great point!
This week, I (unexpectedly)went up several image points by showing up
at the town Halloween parade dressed as Professor Trelawney. The
kids have been calling me Trelawney all week.
Kindness, efficiency, readiness to help, and a willingness to take a
joke are parts of the librarian image I want to work on -- just as
much as debunking the librarian/spinster image.
