Pam,

I think that back in the 50's being a librarian *was a life. The only life a
spinster had other than as teachers and nurses. And the teachers and nurses
were by nature sociable, while librarians were definitely not interested (or
maybe afraid of) social interaction.

I only remember one librarian in that era who was genuinely interested in
helping people enjoy books. The rest of them seemed to consider themselves
guardians of the sacred books. Woe be unto any kid that might dog-ear a
page, or get fingerprints on one, or (gasp) write in one. Not that we would
have dared.

Daryl
