"This work analyzes the stereotypical image of librarians, in motion pictures from the silent era to the 21st century. The work briefly describes each film, and then examines its librarian, considering every aspect of the total character from socio-economic conditions and motivations for leaving or not leaving the library, to personal attributes, to props, plot situations and lines"--Provided by publisher.
