Librarians angry over unfashionable stereotype

Adam sent along This Video From New Zealand: This week nearly six hundred librarians gathered in Rotorua for the biggest event in their calendar – their national conference.

But before it began, one of the scheduled speakers drew more publicity than the event itself.

Style queen Paula Ryan was to give a free workshop about how librarians could update their wardrobes.

It prompted a flurry of protest and angry emails from some librarians, who said her involvement only served to support the outdated librarian stereotype.
