I'm a librarian, so I'm always happy to read something like this. I've been seeing posts about the recent ALA conference, and some of the behavior. I went to ALA in Chicago recently, and saw rudeness from librarians and bloggers, alike, which is always frustrating. Somehow, shiny new books seem to sometimes bring out the beast in any reader. :) Nice post! I’m a librarian, so I’m always happy to read something like this.

Or at least, I thought that's what we're both here for.

They've surely conducted themselves like grown-ups and been willing to have real conversations! Oh, wait. Mostly I just wanted to say that I think a person who claims in their twitter bio to be an "aspiring publicist" should know better than to say, <i>shut it</i> as a response but, hey, that's about the level of discourse from these people, sooo . . .

Miss White sounds like she was a wonderful lady. Librarians are awesome. I hate that they are being cut at some schools because of budget issues. They are important, and they deserve our respect and support. I love you for this post, Pam! Miss White sounds like she was a wonderful lady. Librarians are awesome.

As a youth services librarian, the best part of my day is really, truly being able to connect a non-reader with a book...and then seeing them come back for more! So glad that you had that moment with a Librarian when you were little! I just have to say that as a Librarian, I love your post (obviously)… lol.
