What does a librarian actually do all day?
It is quite clear that librarianship is one of the most misunderstood professions out there. People really have no idea what librarians spend their time doing, why they might want to do it or even what the point of librarians is. Our image has been improved in recent decades thanks to characters such as the Discworld’s Librarian and Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Rupert Giles, but still the overriding image is of a severe-looking lady with her hair in a bun, grumpily stamping books and telling people to be quiet. Not always accurate – if nothing else, I’m no lady!
