Just call me Marian
That's right! I'm gonna be a librarian! I got accepted to Simmons College in Boston! I actually got into the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. Mmhmm, and how! :)
I thought I'd take a moment and reflect on our many influential librarians. First off is Marian from The Music Man. Then there's the scene in the library at the beginning of the first Ghostbusters movie. You have the older librarian, played by Alice Drummond (who's been in tons of stuff). THEN, there's the ghost librarian. I love when they're down in the stacks trying to catch her..."Hee hee hee! "Get her!" That was your whole plan, huh, "get her." Very scientific." Love that movie.
Then there's Evelyn in one of my favorite movies The Mummy. I love the part where she's drunk...
Evelyn: Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am.
Rick: And what is that?
Evelyn: I... am a librarian.
Here's a funny clip from Weird Al's movie UHF:
A fun mosaic!
At the top we've got a cool wagon thing, then next to it is one of the first Maytag washing machines, then there's a cool room all Victorian style, on the bottom left is a rock that Kit Carson wrote his name on, then a cool old stove...all found at the Fairview Museum!
