Two Years Later

Posted in NYC on September 11th 2003 by Randy Reichardt

:: September 11th is almost over in this time zone, and as a day of reflection it felt more subdued than in 2002. The NYTimes editorial reflects of what has happened since that time (ID and PW: podbay). There were various specials and documentaries on television tonight, most notably on PBS. A two-part UK-produced feature, called 9/11: A Tale of Two Towers, chronicled the experiences of the employees of two offices located in the towers during the attacks. It was compelling viewing, but at times very difficult to watch, as well as to listen to the descriptions of what these survivors saw as they left the towers and escaped with their lives.

Sshhh!

:: The stereotypical image of my profession has been reinforced with the debut of a doll wearing sensible shoes, a long, dull dress, and a cardigan sweater, and a moveable arm that “shushes” you. In July, Nancy Pearl, the librarian after whom the doll is based, advised the rest of us in the profession that how we would react to it would be based on how secure we are in our own work:

    Pearl predicts that the shushing motion, triggered by a button on the doll’s back, will determine “which librarians have a sense of humor.” She likes to believe that today’s librarians are secure enough in their work that they won’t take offense at the old cliché.

Well, there ya’ be! Count me as one of those lib’arians who thinks the doll is, well, stoopid. I guess after 25 years of shushing, I’m still insecure. I want my mommy! Perhaps the most annoying thing is the idea that if you don’t think the doll is funny, or, as Pearl puts it, “…a lovely idea and a lovely tribute to my chosen profession“, then as a librarian, you don’t have a sense of humour. What a crock of hooey.

A better model might have been the Librarian Avenger. Look it up, baby!
