Librarian Superheroes

I went out for ice cream with my two bosses today. Both of them are so kind and generous, and very excited that I'm going to become like them. Or so they think.
Dan gave me the librarian action figure - he called it a joke, but I've wanted it for over a year. I found it on a website that was selling Shakespeare action figures, and decided I wanted both of them. The action figure is modeled after a real-life one - Nancy Pearl - the most famous librarian in recent years for her program of trying to get the entire city of Seattle to read the same book.

"The role of a librarian is to make sense of the world of information. If that's not a qualification for superhero-dom, what is?"

She's right, you know. Looks like I'll get to be important after all.
