To be honest, I get the same funny feeling if I approach the wrong people there. Sometimes they can be really scary, or at least stand-offish. I hate that. Librarians are supposed to be the anti-scary, and I take the anti-scary part of my job very seriously. What's worse is that a lot of librarians are very strongly anti-teen, which really ticks me off. It's like everyone under the age of 11 and over the age of 18 is a human being welcome in the library, but teens are something else entirely. It's like they like the *concept* of teens reading, but in actual practice can't handle it. /end rant<br /><br />Interesting point about the awards and so forth, though -- I hadn't ever really even noticed that. Which may say something about the problem. Maybe there should be more awards, or existing awards should be changed, where independent booksellers contribute to the judging. That would make a lot of sense to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054085285665003329.post-30355507479813713002009-08-31T10:10:58.890-07:002009-08-31T10:10:58.890-07:00Juju: Totally!Juju: Totally!Mandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054085285665003329.post-33798697897669704162009-08-30T16:25:24.186-07:002009-08-30T16:25:24.186-07:00I want librarian friends.
