The Librarian in Film and Television

I have a keen interest in how librarians have been portrayed in film and television. The "librarian stereotype" has been a focus of books, conference workshops, countless dialogues between colleagues and even the source of fantasies. But it bears to witness that this stereotype has yet to die a timely death.
