Say 'Information Professional' - that is guaranteed to result in a blank look. Although they may then ask what that is and you would have to reveal you work in a library, so probably a non-starter :)

Subject: Alternative job description - Librarian
Hello there,
I need your advice. When someone asks you what job you do, what do you tell them? Do you say you're a librarian, or do you use an alternative title?
The reason I ask is because I keep on being asked to give "help" with fines, i.e. make them dissapear, and it's become noticably more frequent. So, to avoid that situation I'd like to think of an alternative job description.
Any ideas?
Thank you
