If I was the Queen ...

I would knight librarians for aren’t we the keepers and protectors of the truth. Are we not on an endless errand to find the holiest of grails (knowledge), bringing it into the open for the world to see (cataloguing, exposing, digitising ...)? Are we not always out there looking to save ‘maidens in distress’ (researchers and students) in a world filled with dragons (irrelevant and incorrect information) whose sole aim is to ensnare and devour the feeble minded? We are knights in shining libraries sworn to do the bidding of those that we serve. We are the 'illuminators' of the true path to wisdom.

Sir Librarian – what a wonderful world this can be! I am proud to be a librarian! I am proud to part of a small group of chosen people who though battle-scarred keeps on fighting the good fight for an informed world.
