Ugh
..."listen, you
uppitycondescending small-town librarian"...There, fixed. She may embody many of the core values of our profession, but geez.
Like the Princess Leah hair doo.

Don't like it
I don't think this does Librarians any favours to be honest.
Ahhh!
That was awful. She's a horrible librarian this was distasteful and excruciating. I would have slapped this woman. She can't possibly have had any LIS education.
Um, alright.
Is this suppose to be funny? How does this help us? Hell, I'd cut funding for her library.
I thought this was great!
This reminds me of a lot people I went to library school with. I think it's a better portrayal of librarians, than say The Librarian movie, or the "librarian" in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
There's also no need to take it too seriously. This video is fun, and a few librarians I know also hate fun.
