Fabulous article.  My favourite passage (although this is more about public librarians, which is not the only flavour of Information God/dess):

As for librarians, they're civil servants. They deal with all kinds of social welfare problems, from childcare to homelessness to people who can't navigate the bureaucracy to get benefits or help finding a job. The buck stops at the library. If we keep cutting library aid, people who can't figure out how to file for taxes, or how to use e-mail, are going to be out of luck. About 20 percent of the population is not wired; they don't have Internet access or a smart phone. They can't go to Starbucks and get Wi-Fi with their $4 latte.


 
That´s right and it´s always a good to point to remember how libraries get packed with international students during those last days of tax filing. I did it once and they (the librarians) had several sessions on a day. Rooms were always crowded. But then I started using taxslayer and avoided the crowd.

Behold the stereotypical librarian, with her cat’s-eye glasses, bun and pantyhose — a creature whose desexualized persona and desire for us to be quiet has fueled generations of wild sexual fantasies.

Congrats, that's awesome. {#Cheers}

I'm tanned with envy.

I've got a massive library in a three to four minute walk from my house.

I love it. {#Yes}

The volume of material (books, movies and music) is mind blowing.

Enjoy.
