Being a librarian, she was a bright young woman and a well read individual. VERY well read. And working in the book trade allowed her access to books on many topics, including those titles which touched upon one of her obscure hobbies. Now she just needed to review the chapter from the latest book in her collection — the chapter on hiding bodies.

If you haven't checked out the group "Elgin Park" you don't know what you're missing!
I set off on vacation but the bus broke down. Fortunately the library was open, just the place for a librarian to wait. A cup of coffee and a browse in the card catalogues, leather-bound books to read filled the time in nicely.
I approached this nice old lady as she waited for a taxi. Once I'd explained the project she wished me the best of luck with it and said that of course she'd take part. She was standing under the eaves on the side walk so I didn't need to worry about the still harsh 4pm light. I took a few photos and we spoke about books and the internet. She told me she had a bit of trouble with the internet but at her age of 83 she had a grand daughter to help her out.
You're English she asserted, at one point. I refuted her claim, explaining that I was from Western Australia and suggested that my 'accent' may've been from reading too much Enid Blyton as a kid. At this she said that she wasn't a fan, and would never allow Enid Blyton in her library. She thought that Enid's books lacked correct punctuation. I laughed a little and said that they weren't as bad as Tim Winton, who writes whole books without punctuation. She agreed and told me that he wasn't welcome in her library either.
Before we parted ways she told me that she's also worked in publishing and is now working as part of the Organisation for the Re-Incarnation of the Adverb (and other words ending in 'ation'). I gave her one of my new Moo cards from the pocket on my Black Rapid strap and she was delighted that her photo would be on the internet.
When I saw her on the street in Ray Bans and a fedora I thought she looked like a character. She didn't disappoint and has been one of the most entertaining strangers I've spoken with as part of this project.
This is the seventy sixth portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.
Here are two stellar ladies named Lisa Velarde, instructional / reference librarian, and Kate Roberts, systems librarian. These women are incredible and inspiring!

I call this my “librarian look.” It’s quite conservative for me. Mikey REALLY liked it.

I've changed the content of the museum wall, putting the naive painting of David P. Klein into the frame: visit PhotoFunia to do similar things:
The Enterprise librarian from a deleted scene in the motion picture "Star Trek: Insurrection" (Actress: Lee Arnone-Briggs).
In the Enterprise Library, Troi and Riker go over some exposition: the Son'a discovered the Ba'ku planet six months ago, and since the planet is in Federation space they came to Starfleet and arranjed a joint sociological study of the inhabitants (a lot of this dialogue was also cut from the scene and simplified in the final version of the scene). Data was assigned to the mission because his android characteristics would render him safe from the metaphasic radiantion and therefore useful in many of the tasks required. At this point, Troi tosses a paper ball at him when he is not looking, and when he turns, looks innocently at her screen. Riker is about to retaliate with a paper ball of his own, but he sees the Enterprise Librarian (played by actress Lee Arnone-Briggs) staring at him and he sheepishly backs down.
Troi walks over to Riker's station (like in the final version of the scene) and begins to touch his neck. Another ball of paper hits Riker, this time from a Trill ensign (played by actor Max Grodenchik, who also played 'Rom' in Star Trek Deep Space Nine) now looking innocently at his computer. The Librarian glares at Riker and Troi. Troi points to Riker and says "He started it!"

Out of money again after another round of shopping frenzy and had to get a part time job. Don't mind my attire, there's no dress code and this ancient library is hot as hell...
Can anyone ID which conference that bag came from? I think I have one somewhere. Oh, and the sign behind the librarian is funny too.
