Librarians in Pop Culture
The stereotypical librarian is ubiquitous in pop culture. We have all seen the
old maid, prim, slightly older woman with her hair in a bun shushing people in
television, movies, advertisements and books. As a librarian I sometimes find these
funny and sometimes not, depending upon the context in which they are shown. This page contains images of librarians
some of which are flattering and some not. I do want to take a moment to defend
Marion the Librarian
from the film The Music Man. As an icon, she tends to be the one
librarians mention as everything we are fighting against. However, Marion is
a true defender of the first amendment and free speech. This is what the
Library Bill of Rights is all about.
Give Marion a break.
