About This Quote

A librarian is someone who helps people find information. A librarian helps people find information for any reason, whether it is because they are looking for their favorite book to read, or if they are researching a history project. Not only do all types of people use the services of a librarian, but so do their pets. A librarian can help you find just about any kind of information you need, including the time it takes to get from your house to your job. A librarian can also help you plan your life, just like a good friend should.
