C.W. "The pictures reveal a reality of the 21st Century Librarian. I do not expect to change the stereotype, but I do want to open people's mind to the profession and to the diversity that is a part of it. Styles continually change, so I would not expect the librarians of the past to look like today's librarians, however, the perception that one has overall is still an older image and I would prefer it to be a modern one."

C.W. "The readers of my blog have been quite supportive of my efforts. It has helped to keep people more involved in the progress of the project and serve as a way to provide them with information about what's going on."

C.W. "In my opinion, the biggest challenge that librarians face today is a decreasing budget coupled with
increasing costs. I have not reached the level of library management at this point, but I know that it is the greatest stressor in the library. I have seen many of my bosses stress level increase at budget time. Librarians, not only have to justify their spending, but they also have to justify their existence. Patrons will have to voice their needs of the library and how they deem that it is an important component of their tax or education dollars in order for libraries to continue. If librarians can continue to show the importance of the library and emphasize the need for help to patrons, then patrons make take on a role that can help libraries. The more the message is heard, the louder it will ring in the ears of those controlling the budget".

C.W. "It would seem as if the fundamental functions of the librarian will be very much the same: to acquire and disseminate information, in whatever form it may be. It is hard to know what the future brings, but one thing I know is that the librarians of the future will have to be much more open to the possibility of constant change".
