Someone Special

I know it takes someone special to be a librarian or a school media specialist. I know this because when people ask what my studies are in, many times they turn up their nose like it's the last thing they would want to do. A long time ago, when I was a little girl (and that really wasn't very long ago), librarians left a lot to be desired. The ones I knew were grouchy old ladies who had glasses perched on the end of their noses which were attached to chains around their necks. These old ladies made it their mission to go around hushing people in the library. But, librarianship has taken on a whole different perspective in the last several years. They are now people to be respected. Now, librarians are the people with the answers.
