Stuffy Librarians

The stereotype of librarians being "stuffy" and overly strict is evidenced in Sweden where students are not able to borrow books if they have underwear showing, or are wearing caps or toques. I don't think this would work well in North America. This gives American celebrities like Britney Spears, Madonna, and Eminem an excuse as to why they don't use the library. Unfortunately, this also would prevent Canadian celebrities like Cindy Klassen, Jarome Iginla, and Bob and Doug McKenzie from ever reading a book. I can buy that for the McKenzie boys, but I expect more respect for Ms. Klassen. Come on librarians, loosen up.
