I dedicate this post to the folks at the Winthrop Public Library. Our buddy Amy Disch, chief librarian at the Columbus Dispatch library, was part of a panel discussing the importance of librarians on the WOSU radio show All Sides. The book This Book is Overdue* by Marilyn Johnson inspired the discussion. Upper Arlington (Ohio) Public Library Media Services Manager Shahin Shoar and Marilyn were on the panel with Amy. Host Ann Fisher wove numerous comments from listeners into the show. Topics include what libraries and librarians offer; why librarians should be paid professionals and not volunteers or retrained retirees (though they didn’t discuss how many librarians are folks past their first career); the current role of librarians in different institutions; budget cuts; tips for preparing for library school (including a terrific event in March in Columbus, Ohio, to meet different kinds of librarians); the Conneticut Four and the USA PATRIOT Act; bookmobiles; and book cart drill teams. You might think I’m joking, but they also discussed senses of humor librarians have. One quote that made me laugh was something like “If you think the stereotypical librarian is awful, you should see the library patrons.” Mind you, I visit my local library about once a week (or more–I think I’m up to three times this week). I encourage each librarian to encourage their constituents, clients, library stakeholders, etc., to listen to this show. *Great title for a book praising librarians, libraries, and librarianship, no?
