As someone who lives to read it’s sad to see how many hard leftists infest book stores or run them.
I used to date a librarian and was introduced to those circles. I quickly realized I was very wrong about the character of a librarian. Librarians do not like books. Not in the same way you or I like a Heinlein novel. More than anything they are interested in the classification and organization of books. Does that sound familiar?
Many of the ones I met did fit the timid librarian stereotype but they were outright authoritarian. Not only would they have to ensure things were done their way they always deferred to authority, even in the tiniest matter. And with such conviction and blind acceptance I really couldn't believe it. Having seen this, the mandatory vaccine and mask compliance crazies didn't surprise me (but the sheer number of them did.)
Maybe many here aren't surprised at this and I was naïve. It was still quite the shock. All this woman read was young adult novels. I asked once asked her about Tolstoy and she asked me if he was that old Russian guy who wrote a really long book. She had absolutely no interest in discussing books. Her friends and co-workers were the same. It's still a little hard for me to believe today.
Anyhow, yeah, people running book stores and libraries care more about control of books rather than their content. Unless its an old book written by a white guy. Then it should be removed. Because Authority says it should. And Authority is always correct.
Dang, well thanks for the breakdown. I used to think it would be awesome to date a librarian or a lady who runs a used bookstore
There's got to be at least a few good ones out there, but I'll tell you now I'm your competition, lol
But as I was trying to convey, and as Alfredic mentioned above it, these positions really draw leftist leaning people. And he has much more understanding of academia than I do.
I think you mentioned liking folksy music: Here is a bittersweet song about librarians
Thanks! Maybe it’s a good thing the few librarians I ever talked to weren’t interested. I do live some old school folk music. Thanks.
