“The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books. They are useful public servants, who manage libraries in the interest of the public . . . Many still think that a great reader, or a writer of books, will make an excellent librarian. This is pure fallacy.”
William Osler
“If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians”

“I am what the librarians have made me with a little assistance from a professor of Greek and a few poets”

“I was a librarian years ago, and I really liked reading the fun books (to kids) because the kids would always run and check those books out later. It did get them excited about reading, and I'm happy to see that.”
Charlie Williams

“It's an ongoing process. Librarians look at what's popular and where there are gaps in the collections.”
Willie Nelms
“Many students are not aware that librarians are tenure-tracked faculty members. Librarians are in the 'publish or perish' category required for tenure and promotion. The education required is a minimum of two master's degrees, one being mandatory - a Master's in Library Science - and a second Master's degree in any subject. These must be from an accredited university. A number of librarians have a Ph.D.”
