To ensure this happy little blog has more than one post, I'm linking to an interesting rant (as all rants should be) by a librarian about those who inhabit her world.
I didn't keep the original link from where I first bumped into this, so I can't Hat Tip the person who found it. To them [I think it was a MLS student in the ole USA]...keep fighting the good fight.
Now, I would like to say from the outset, I work in an academic library and NOT a public library. So my interactions with homeless men are solely on a social basis rather than a professional one.
And the last time I caught any girls smoking pot in a bathroom, it was my sister and her friends trying to be hippies for a day. [Big shout out to you sis...guess it didn't work out being a hippy, but hey, the paychecks from that Big Oil company probably help.]
I think ANYONE who has worked in pretty much ANY library will see similarities to what this librarian is going on about.
HOWEVER, the best part is the end. Ain't it always the case!
She re-affirms what all true librarians feel...
[to paraphrase...]
LOOK. YOU IDIOTS WHO ARE IDIOTS SUCK, BUT I WILL HELP ANYONE WHO IS HERE TO USE MY LIBRARY LEGITIMATELY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF MY ABILITIES AND EFFORTS.
Amen sister.
