So, I was talking to the librarian in London today, asking if one of my suspects had been there when the murder happened. I'm studying to be a librarian, and the first thing that jumped to mind was, "Is she allowed to tell me that? That might go against the ethics of guarding a patron's privacy!" My next thought was, "I've been studying waaaaaaay to much!" I was amused though...

Yeah, I wouldn't say "I love to read." I at least wouldn't give it as a reason for wanting to work in a library. I might mention it at some point though. Maybe at the end or something.

Yeah, we tend to call people working in libraries Librarians when most of them are just Library Assistants, if they even got that far in their training.

Yeah, that's true. Not a lot of people realize that you don't become a librarian simply by getting a job in a library.

Riiiiiiiiiiight, Anstett.

You are there to work. Suuuuuuuure.

So if someone said they wanted a job in the library so they'd have more time to sleuth and chat with their sleuth friends while getting paid, you'd say, "No way; it's all about the work," before you went back to your computer to solve cases, I take it???

Grins, when you are the boss you do things your way.

Now get back to shelving, I have cases to solve!
