Until I worked at my current job, I thought the majority of library customers have been looking for information for work or school when the use the library.
Stories are something they can buy at a bookstore.
I have found out that stories can relieve boredom and provide some knowledge to the world at large, even if it is only a mystery novel. After taking various English courses during my undergraduate days, I have not touched a novel due to burn out as the result of some interpretation of these stories. In some circles, this makes me a poor readers advisor. Regardless of the technological advances, computers will never replace a well rounded librarian and I wish Dr. Weigand well in spreading his gospel of having library schools teach future librarians to be well rounded practitioners to serve library customers of all ages and abilities. Hopefully, the new library students under Dr. Weigand's curriculum may be relieve of the burnout that I still suffer from after all these years.
