Ah, Librarians…

I don’t think I’ve ever met a librarian who wasn’t just a bit quirky – or downright eccentric.  It’s not a case of, “…despite being a librarian”, but rather it’s because they’re librarians.   Take Belle da Costa Greene (pictured), or Antonio Panizzi, the principal librarian of the British Museum who was accused of selling white mice on the streets of London.  Then there’s this shush of librarian-students doing Gaga – I can’t help thinking they’ll be on the battlefront against the forces of the Orange One just about right now.  And one (of many) famous fictional librarians in a clip, and another clip.
