Make a great librarian???? Hello...have you been in a library lately? A good number of our local librarians look as competatively svelte (and many of them are male to boot) as anyone else. If she has a master's degree, then she might make a good librarian. If she has 5-10 years of experience in libraries, she might be a great librarian....might. It is experience, education, and ability to work with a demanding public that makes a librarian great or not. Her looks have NOTHING to do with it. I should know. I work in a library. I'm not a librarian but, trust me, I don't know any librarian that is any more flattered by stereotyping than anyone else would be. Lecture over. I'm going back to the stacks.
