More Librarians “breaking down stereotypes”

Anonymous Patron writes “With all these librarians “breaking down stereotypes” you’d think there wouldn’t be any left to breakdown! Jake Hope is one of those busting ‘types. The 27-year-old from the Broadgate (Lancashire) area was selected in a national competition to find and celebrate the under 30s in England’s libraries who show commitment, originality, passion and creativity. Jake, who lives in the city centre, said: “Librarians of the future must no longer be stereotyped as quiet, staid or severe.

“They must instead be viewed as key-holders and guides to the vast empires of human knowledge and achievement.””
