Very true but since it's a farce it makes some sense that the librarian isn't a 'real' librarian. However, if I just keep it playing, most of the kids will miss that anyway. If it were a serious depiction, then I'd be really upset with the producers, etc. So, for what it is, I think it's fun.

I believe at some point they mention that he holds six (or some incredible number of) degrees - but not one of them is in librarianship! I suppose if he were really a LIBRARIAN he couldn't be so adventurous! I found this a rather serious flaw in the movie. Linda L.

The Librarian Image - well - let me just suggest that you get a hold of a movie entitled "The Librarian" and watch it. It's a made for TV movie done by TNT in the "Indiana Jones" style. It's a hoot. I may just have a movie day in the Media Center one day and just continually show it. That will give you a new perspective on a librarian's image.

I can't think of any profession that doesn't suffer from some negative stereotypes. Lawyers, dentists, cab drivers, teachers, Enron executives, county road workers, prison guards, priests - name an occupation that doesn't have some popular negative stereotype. (Well, tech directors don't, I suppose.) I think we can all get Mary Kay makeovers (but I'd have some 'splaining to do to the wife, dress better, write letters about the unfairness of the world to the paper, and debate this ad nauseum among ourselves, but the plain fact is that only our positive interactions with individuals are what really matter. If image is that important, well, become a model or actor or politician or accountant... Well, bad examples. All the best, Doug PS. Male librarians don't have an image problem.
