[LM_NET] Target: Librarians in Literature

["Ronda Y. Foust" <rfoust150@COMCAST.NET>]

Susie's recent posting about Franki Sibberson and Mary Lee Hahn's  
blog, "A Year of Reading: Two Teachers Chat
about Books and Reading" at http://readingyear.blogspot.com/ reminded  
me of some of my favorite librarians in literature.  I've started a  
list (with thanks to Franki and Mary Lee for their wonderful idea) on  
my fledgling blog and am hoping that, as you discover (rediscover)  
some of your favorite (and possibly infamous?) librarians in  
children's and YA literature, that you might add to the list.  Feel  
free to wander over to my blog at

http://thebookdragon.blogspot.com/

Or drop me an e-mail.  I've listed a few sites that have some good  
info on this topic, but I'm sure there are many more, and would love  
to know what the collective brain comes up with on this.

Just as a starting point, one of my favorite librarians in lit is the  
one from Bud, Not Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis.  I'm also fond  
of Madame Pince, the Hogwarts Librarian in the Harry Potter books  
(and would count her in with the "infamous" librarians).

As always, this group is GREAT at providing food for thought--and  
it's making me get off my butt and learn more about adjusting my  
blasted blog!
