Librarian Said to me once....
Why the book has not been returned to the library!

... because I left it in my truck and my truck was in an accident and got towed to the garage and I won't be able to get to the garage in Abbotsford until this weekend.

... my mother took it camping and lost it.

... I didn't take it out!

... cuz my cat peed on it and it smells too bad.

... it flew out the car window on the 401 Freeway and was devoured by an 18 wheeler!

Librarian is a service occupation. Librarians are the secret masters of the world. They control information. Don't ever piss one off. Librarians are very special people.

Librarians are librarians: they are not caregivers, nurturers, social workers, surrogate parents, welfare agents, or therapists. When all is said and done, their role is straightforward: they gather stuff, impose some order on said stuff, and make the stuff available to the public. Submitted by Jennifer Papin-Ramcharan

The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books. They are useful public servants, who manage libraries in the interest of the public... Many still think that a great reader, or a writer of books, will make an excellent librarian. This is pure fallacy. (1917) submitted by Kim Kuhn, submitted by Sue DiBattista, Vicky Polk

Librarians have always been among the most thoughtful and helpful people. They are teachers without a classroom. No libraries, no progress. Willard Scott, NBC TV weatherman

Librarians are at the heart of opposition to foolish, dangerous, misguided attempts at censoring human expression in our free country. I thank God for their efforts. -- Author Clyde Edgerton

Librarians are almost always very helpful and often almost absurdly knowledgeable. Their skills are probably very underestimated and largely underemployed.
