v funny. I have often observed in my day to day work that people are fundamentally scared of librarians. They are always terribly apologetic whenever they return a book late. What do they think I am going to do? Yell at them in front of everyone? I think there is a sterotypical myth that the quiet facade of librarians hides a building rage just beneath the surface and that any little thing might set us off. Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry....
Great stuff! We need a ninja librarian at our library too (AUT). It's funny how people just blather away on their phone, oblivious to the fact that they are in a library. And the number of people who walk into the library as they talk on their phone!
I wonder if Ninja Librarian would come to my office and take care of some of those "really cool" mobile ringtones that echo through the cubicles all day . . .
