Mr. Parisi — this is so out of touch with current library practices. We librarians have spent the last two decades trying to counter this old stereotype.
Hush little baby, don’t say a wordMama’s gonna buy you a mockin’ birdAnd if that mockin’ bird won’t singMama’s gonna buy you a diamond ringAnd if that diamond ring is brassMama’s gonna buy you a lookin’ glassAnd if that lookin’ glass gets brokeMama’s gonna buy you a billy goatAnd if that billy goat won’t pullMama’s gonna buy you a cart and bullAnd if that cart and bull turn overMAma’s gonna buy you a dog named RoverAnd if that dog named Rover won’t barkMAma’s gonna buy you a horse and cartAnd if that horse and cart fall downYou’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town
Sleep child, and when you doDream a dream to drift you through the nightthat lingers through the day…

There are actually videos on Youtube of someone going “shhhh….shhhh”, in hour-long loops. Supposedly they are to help get your baby to sleep.

As a librarian, I’m getting really tired of this stereotype.

What happened to the Quota System? We need more male librarians. My town had one, but he climbed above the glass ceiling.
