don't judge a book...

Hope everyone's having a great day.

And if not, your spirits might brighten with this news -- you can safely erase all images of your mousy second-grade librarian. Apparently librarians are hot now, at least according to this article.

It talks about how more and more cool young people are studying library science, especially since the field has become less about books and more about connecting people with information, music and movies.

Many librarians now must become proficient in social networking Web sites like Facebook and MySpace, the article notes.

The coolest part? The median salary for librarians was about $51,000 in 2006. Hot.

It's all actually pretty interesting, even if you're not into books or Dewey Decimals.

And yes, any fantasies involving tied-back hair and glasses will remain fully intact.

Score!
