To everyone asking for a copy of the fantastic introduction poem here it is
A Poem for Smashing Stereotypes: Librarians get Loud!
Frustration
Her hair it is grey
(The hair on her chin)
Her nose it is rosy
(She’s partial to gin)
A kindly old spinster
A grumpy old bat
She lives all alone
(Apart from the cat)
A shy shrinking violet
An awkward wallflower
But she’s read ALL the books
And knowledge is power
No more jam-making
Forget basket-weaving
Under that cardigan
Her bosoms are heaving
Enough with the shushing
She wants to get loud
She’s a woman with needs
She’s out and she’s proud
So cancel the book-club
And IT for seniors
She’s feeling the urge now
Oh God, it has been years
Since she let down her bun
And took off her specs
Watch out now world
She’s gagging for ........
Professional recognition!
