Normally I'm not really into organized religion, but if someone wants to start a cult honoring my chosen profession, I could go for that.............

This is from Librarian Avengers.  The Avenging Librarian seems to work in a more academic setting, which is why there are no lines about "Librarians can keep your bored children entertained using little more than a Book"  Or "librarians can find yet ANOTHER book all about dinosaurs for your 4 year old". Or "librarians can simultaneously deal with a phone call, a broken Xerox machine, an irate patron who wants the latest bestseller NOW, and a homeless person who clearly has gone off their medications this week"    Oh,well. That's for another day......................

Why you should fall to your knees and worship a librarian

Ok, sure. We've all got our little preconceived notions about what librarians are and what they do. Many people think of them as diminutive civil servants, scuttling about "Sssh-ing" people and stamping things. Well, think again buster.

Librarians have degrees. They go to graduate school for Information Science and become masters of data systems and human/computer interaction. Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog's ear. They could catalog you. Librarians wield unfathomable power. With a flip of the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and Stream magazines. They can find data for your term paper that you never knew existed. They may even point you toward new and appropriate subject headings.

People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge. Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise.
