[Publib] great librarian stereotype quote

[Connie Jo Ozinga]

I've just read Elfenheim by Michael Flynn and was very delighted with
the following, quoted from page 65.
 
    "The librarian, ....stood by the table with the carton he had just
finished braced against her hip.  She was a fine-featured woman, decked
with a long print dress and adorned by large, plain glasses.  Her hair
met behind her in a tight bun.
    Lieber Gott, Tom thought.  An archetype!
 
I for one would much rather be an archetype than a stereotype.
