Everything is Catalogued: The Hipster Librarian

"Everything is Catalogued: The Hipster Librarian." Counter Punch / Linda Ueki Absher.

"It's finally happened: everyone wants to be me.  
Well, they don't want to be me, me.  After all, who wants student loans, an undervalued house and a sweater that looks like I've just mugged a red heffalump?  But everyone under thirty with skinny black jeans and artistic facial hair, or Bettie Page bangs and winsome skirts with felted bird appliqués (with an influential minority wearing all of the above) want to be what I am: a librarian.  This is a surprise, to put it mildly."
