Fairy Tales

When I first entered grad school I was amazed at how many english majors there were in the Library Science program at my university. On the first day of class when we were forced to stand up and introduce ourselves I would say 6 out of 10 stated that their undergraduate degree was in english and that they had never worked in a library but loved to read books so they decided to become a librarian and read books all day. I think I actually chuckled out loud at that one. Anyone who has ever worked or volunteered in a busy library knows that you don't have time to sit around and read all day.  What do these people think?  Little faeries put the used books back on the shelves?  Hah!
