I visit the science fiction website SF Signal quite often and have a link to them on the side of my blog, but what I want to talk about is a story they linked to the blog of Wil Wheaton, from Star Trek: The Next Generation, and a lovely story he wrote about librarians. He described that as a youngster, he discovered how helpful and knowledgeable librarians are, and how wonderful libraries are. I, too, since youth have loved libraries ranging from the local city library to the university library. I loved going through the card catalog to look for a science fiction book, non-fiction book, or sometimes just to sit at a desk in some corner, by a window, behind the book stacks, to study. That was the best and most memorable studying because the idea of being surrounded by so many books seemed to infuse in me knowledge and the desire for more of it.
Anyway, HERE is a link to Wil Wheaton and his wonderful post about librarians.
