I was lucky enough to get to see the UK premiere of the Hollywood Librarian
last night, shown by CILIP in Sussex. The film's creator, Ann Seidl, is
herself a librarian - she started out to document how librarians were
portrayed but then moved onto what librarians were really like. She said
that she had received feedback from all over the world, and recognition of
the stereotypes, challenges and rewards of the job transcended culture.
