Ever been told you don't look like a librarian? Me too! Several times this week in fact. So what does a librarian look like? Well, a quick review of the research shows that our public thinks we're: quiet, stern, unmarried, stuffy and likely to be wearing glasses. Hmmm. Erica Olsen, Librarian Avenger has a quiz to help prospective librarians decide if they are geeky enough to become a librarian. And eeek, I am a geek, because my score was 18. If only I looked like Tori Amos....

As many can attest, I was raised by books in lieu of my parents, so librarians to me have always seemed to have a matronally air about them. They introduced me to Judy Blume and Ayn Rand and Ernest Hemingway.
I love libraries.
It must be fate- I scored an 18 too.
Personally I think it is better to *not look like a librarian* and test out as one than the other way around.
and "dahling...you look marvelous"
Very pretty design! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
