OLA 2016

This program will highlight how librarians are portrayed in film. What can we learn about our own profession by the way others tell our story on the big screen? Culled from years of film analysis and research, as showcased on the presenter's site Reel Librarians (http://reel-librarians.com), this program will feature both female and male "reel" librarian portrayals, illustrated with cinematic examples. How might these portrayals help (or inhibit) connections between librarians and our communities? Let's all come together to identify and laugh - or groan! - at how we are portrayed in the "reel" world.
