This Is What a Librarian Looks Like: A Celebration of Libraries, Communities, and Access to Information by Kyle Cassidy
4.0
"Librarians are warrior princes and princesses wielding book love like swords." Susan K. McClelland from Oak Park Public Library
"I was always a library kid. What drew me to my calling was the realization that stories can be consumed and created in many ways, and that technology is a powerful tool to do that." Gretchen Caserotti from Meridian Public Library
“Impassioned librarians are a force to be reckoned with. We have the curiosity of a scientist, the work ethic of a teacher, the creativity of an artist, and the ferocity of a prize fighter. We are so much more than Google." Alea Perez, from Westmont Public Library
I vaguely remember when Cassidy started this project. I saw something in the library news about the first pictures that he took. Then, to be honest, I forgot all about it. I was retiring from the profession and I was sure Cassidy was not coming to take my picture. I am old and look a bit too much like the stereotypical librarian.
I am glad that my local library bought this and I hope that many people will at least look at it. Here are almost 220 women and men that are still librarians and are doing their best to show people that libraries are still important. I salute and thank them. Being a librarian was always a calling for me and I am so happy to see that is true for many of these librarians. Maybe someone will see this and realize that she is also called to this fun, wonderful career.
