I remember when the librarian was a much older woman: Kindly, discreet, unattractive. We didn't know anything about her private life. We didn't WANT to know anything about her private life. She didn't HAVE a private life.
— Larry Charles, Lieutenant Bookman, the "Library Cop", Philip Baker Hall, imdb.com
Look at her. This is a lonely woman looking for companionship....Spinster...Maybe a virgin....Maybe she got hurt a long time ago. She was a schoolgirl. There was a boy. It didn't work out. Now she needs a little tenderness. She needs a little understanding. She needs a little Kramer.
Perhaps the definition of librarian will gradually morph over the coming decades to ‘one who protects us from the historical record.
