Sadly I’m in Albany and I have work and class..and I’m not even a “real “librarian yet (still in the little-wooden girl training phase). I can’t wait to get my degree so I can participate in all the wonderful activities! J
Speaking of all this Comic-con Superhero business, I found some pretty interesting articles while looking for pictures of Barbara Gordon AKA BatGirl AKA Oracle for this post:
“Barbara earns her paycheck as Gotham City's head librarian, but when crime strikes, she lets her hair down, trades her twinset and pearls for a skin-tight unitard and thigh-high stiletto boots, and kicks arch-villain butt. Even without her alterego Batgirl, Barbara Gordon is no shrinking violet. She's an independent career woman… Barbara Gordon is a superhero with or without the mask and cape and while she may not be the most realistic representation of librarians that the media has to offer, she’s certainly the most multifaceted” - Elyse Kroll Information Outlook, Feb. 2004 (Thanks to http://librarianstereotypes.wordpress.com/ who posted this quote and information about this article in their blog)
When it comes to Batman I’ve always been a bigger fan Harley Quinn but Barbara Gordon is my librarian muse. <3
