The 10 best librarians on screen?

The 10 best librarians on screen (bfi.org.uk) Staff at the [British Film Institute] Reuben Library nominate their top 10 librarians in film and television. 5 February 2016 By Emma Smart, Sarah Currant

Think of a librarian and chances are a certain image will form: generally female, early middle age, neat yet frumpy clothes, glasses and possibly hair scraped back into a tight bun. This is an image that the past 100 years of cinema has done little to counteract, and the moving image archives are littered with painful examples of the ‘spinster librarian’ type: bitter, dried-out husks surveying their reading rooms with a gimlet eye, and generally acting as killjoys when any fun appears on the horizon.

The reality couldn’t be more different!

So we’ve handpicked those screen representations that contradict the stereotypes and prove what those of us in the know knew all along. Librarians are pretty cool....

[NB: list edited due to yr humble editor's taste, what has actually been seen, and to limit post length. If you want to see the complete list and accompanying text, click on the link up top -- ed.]

Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn) – Desk Set (1957) - Katharine Hepburn’s wonderfully acerbic Bunny Watson is the librarian that everyone wants to be when they finally grow up. She loves a drink and a party, and is in possession of both a fabulous wardrobe and a wicked sense of humour. These are little-known yet essential qualities for any would-be information professional. More importantly however, she is a consummate professional with a degree and postgraduate qualification, she has an encyclopaedic knowledge of her collection, and an absolutely formidable memory. She was a walking Google before Google was even a thing.

Marian Paroo (Shirley Jones) – The Music Man (1962) - Possibly the quintessential representation of what most people think of when they picture a librarian, Shirley Jones’s prim and proper librarian Marian has a special place in the hearts of the BFI Reuben Library team. She may come across as officious and unyielding, not afraid of the librarian’s ubiquitous defence against noise pollution (the crisply enunciated “Shh!”), but underneath the surface of that devoutly professional exterior is a passionate woman waiting to be unleashed. And when she figures out con-man Harold for what he really is, yet again it’s a librarian who saves the day.

Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) – The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - The only innocent man in Shawshank prison, Andy Dufresne built up the kind of library most of us would be proud to work in. His sheer persistence and single-mindedness in repeatedly asking for funds and donations from the local authorities proves that librarians, on film as in real life, are a tenacious bunch undeterred by bureaucracy. Tim Robbins instils the role with steely determination hidden beneath the well-mannered exterior, whether it’s painstakingly carving a chess set for Red from the rocks in the prison yard, or building a library up from nothing. Robbins is a librarian we can believe in.

Mary (Parker Posey) – Party Girl (1995) - Arrested after throwing an illegal party in her apartment, 24-year-old Mary is bailed out by her godmother Judy, a professional librarian in the New York Public Library service. In order to repay her debt, Mary is given a job as a library assistant and, after some false starts and personality clashes, she soon becomes the fastest shelver in the place. Party Girl not only captures the spirit of mid-90s New York and the party scene of the time; it is also deeply respectful of the library profession. There are several scenes that will have librarians punching the air with righteous joy – not least when Mary loudly berates a patron for failing to adhere to the Dewey Decimal shelving system. Party Girl is certainly proof that media stereotypes of librarians are just that.

Jennifer Packer was born in 1984 in Philadelphia. She received a BFA from the Tyler University School of Art at Temple University in 2007. She graduated with an MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale University in 2012. She then moved to the Bronx where she was the 2012-2013 Artist-in-Residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem. In 2014-2016 she was a Visual Arts Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. She is an Assistant Professor in the painting department at Rhode Island School of Design.

Packer paints in a loose line and brush stroke style using limited color palettes.  Her subjects often appear to merge with the background. Her subjects are typically portraits of friends and family members, and flower still lives. The still lives she describes as vessels of personal grief. Her intent in all her paintings is political statement. She describes them as being about loss usually in response to “tragedies of state and institutional violence against Black Americans. One such painting titled, Say Her Name, is a response to the death of Sandra Bland, a Black American woman who is thought to have been murdered in police custody.

Parker’s two main types of paintings, the still lives of flowers and portraits, are very different in composition, technique and style. What are your thoughts on that? Is there one you prefer over the other or one you feel sends a more impactful message?

Despite the subject of loss carried through Parker’s paintings, they are mostly painted in bright lively colors. What impact do you think this has on the paintings and their message?

22 Happy first Monday in May! As stars prepare to grace the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s soaring steps at this year’s Met Gala, we can’t help but reminisce on major looks from years past. Whether draped in couture inspired by exhibits rooted in American history, Catholicism, China, camp, and more, celebrities have always arrived to the fashionable event with a wide range of themed interpretations. This year will be no different for the Costume Institute’s latest exhibit “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” (more on that later!)—but there’s something to be said for the looks that have stood the test of time. From Rihanna‘s viral Guo Pei gown to Lady Gaga‘s dramatic Brandon Maxwell outfit changes—and every time Zendaya strode up the Met steps—ensembles from past galas still make our hearts skip a beat, all these years later.

Birth of a Nation Blog Write up (By: Alyssa Olson)

The 2016 film Birth of a Nation, directed by and starring Nate Parker, offers a powerful reimagining of Nat Turner's 1831 rebellion, one of the most significant slave uprisings in American history. This cinematic retelling explores the deeply ingrained atrocities of slavery and the transformative journey of a man pushed to lead a revolt against systemic oppression.

The film opens with a stark portrayal of Turner’s life as a preacher on a plantation. He is initially seen as a compliant figure, one who uses his Christian faith to soothe fellow enslaved people under the watchful eye of white plantation owners. However, Turner’s gradual awakening to the horrors of slavery is catalyzed by the violence inflicted on his family, his people, and ultimately himself. This evolution from preacher to rebel reflects a broader historical narrative about resistance in the face of overwhelming brutality.

One of the film’s key strengths is its visceral depiction of the psychological and physical suffering endured by enslaved Africans. It does not shy away from showing the cruelty of the institution of slavery, and in doing so, it forces viewers to confront the moral contradictions of a society built on the rhetoric of liberty while perpetuating human bondage. The use of religious imagery throughout the film underscores this contradiction, as Turner’s role as a preacher becomes inverted. He initially preaches submission, but later he embraces a violent path to liberation, mirroring biblical themes of divine justice.

From a historical and African studies perspective, Birth of a Nation raises essential questions about rebellion, legacy, and the cost of freedom. Nat Turner’s revolt, though ultimately unsuccessful in achieving immediate emancipation, had a profound impact on the abolitionist movement and heightened fears among white Southern slaveholders. The film illustrates how acts of resistance, even when crushed, can ignite long-term social change by inspiring future generations to challenge oppressive systems.

Yet, Birth of a Nation also engages with the complexity of Turner’s legacy. Was he a hero, a martyr, or a controversial figure due to the violence of the uprising? The film leans heavily into the heroism of Turner’s actions, framing him as a symbol of black resistance, though it leaves room for viewers to grapple with the ethical implications of violent rebellion. In the context of African studies, I believe this film serves as a powerful educational tool. It highlights the often-overlooked history of slave uprisings in the United States and contributes to a deeper understanding of how enslaved Africans resisted their dehumanization in both subtle and overt ways. Birth of a Nation is not just a historical narrative—it is a meditation on power, resistance, and the enduring fight for dignity.

2 min read Approval to Exceed GSA Lodging for LPSC 2024 This letter from SARA is to issue a waiver for NASA grantees attending LPSC 2024 allowing them to be reimbursed out of their grants for their actual lodging, although it’s expected to be above the approved GSA amount. This waiver does not supersede the travel policy of your institution if it is more restrictive. Note: I have specified grants (including cooperative agreements). This may also apply to those traveling on NASA contracts, but they should communicate with their contracting officers. The host hotel for the 55th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference on March 11–15, 2024, is The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center. Hotel information for this conference may be found at https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2024/plan/. The GSA-allowed daily lodging expense for March 2024 for zip code 77380 (for The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center) is $122 per night. Many of the hotels may be significantly higher than the GSA allowed $122. Grantee travelers may need a waiver to cover lodging in excess of the GSA value, depending on the travel policy of your organization. This waiver does not supersede the travel policy of your institution if it is more restrictive. By the power vested in me by the NSSC to issue approval of the actual lodging costs for a conference in “bulk” instead of individual approvals, I hereby affirm that for the 55th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference NASA, SMD grants may be charged up to $256/night plus tax, consistent with the average actual cost of the conference hotel, even though this exceeds the $122 allotted for lodging by GSA for The Woodlands for March 2024.

Moon over Makemake Illustration Credit: Alex H. Parker (Southwest Research Institute)

Explanation: Makemake (sounds like MAH-kay MAH-kay), second brightest dwarf planet of the Kuiper belt, has a moon. Nicknamed MK2, Makemake's moon reflects sunlight with a charcoal-dark surface, about 1,300 times fainter than its parent body. Still, in 2016 it was spotted in Hubble Space Telescope observations intended to search for faint companions with the same technique used to find the small satellites of Pluto. Just as for Pluto and its satellites, further observations of Makemake and orbiting moon will measure the system's mass and density and allow a broader understanding of the distant worlds. About 160 kilometers (100 miles) across compared to Makemake's 1,400 kilometer diameter, MK2's relative size and contrast are shown in this artist's vision. An imagined scene of an unexplored frontier of the Solar System, it looks back from a spacecraft's vantage as the dim Sun shines along the Milky Way. Of course, the Sun is over 50 times farther from Makemake than it is from planet Earth.

The guest list for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Met Gala “leaked”. 

The event which - in recent years has been held the first Monday in May - has been moved to September 13th this year due to the ongoing pandemic.  As always the event is chaired by Anna Wintour, who last year was rumored to be dating her longtime friend, actor Bill Nighy and if that’s true, she need to make it red carpet official. He’s forever stylish.  Her fellow honorary chairs are Adam Mosseri who is the head of Instagram and designer/filmmaker/hater of mandals (me too,Tom!) Tom Ford.

This year’s co-chairs are Timothee Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman and Naomi Osaka.

This year’s theme is “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion“ which will be a celebration of American designers and the event will be a two-parter with one event taking place now and the other on the first Monday in May 2022 with the theme “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”. 

In the past few days a few names from the guest list have been revealed and it’s heavy on social media influencers which isn’t surprising considering one of the chairs is over Instagram.  This, of course, has raised the question of whether the Met Gala has lost its prestige by these new invitees.  But it’s the same argument that was made years ago when models were pushed to the background and the event became the playground of actors.  Even designers and fashion hoi polloi stopped attending in part to the price of the tickets ($30k-$50k; tables $275k) and due to the focus on celebrity and not fashion. 

That’s why Iris Arpel, celebrating her 100th birthday this coming week and who once had 86 outfits housed at the exhibit, stopped attending.  

Who are some of the influencers who will attend? Allyson Felix, Noah Beck, Liza Koshy, Bretman Rock and Loren Grey.

Other well known influencers like Nikki Tutorials, James Charles, Jeffree Star, Charlie and Dixie D’Amelio and Nikita Dragun are also on the list. 

Look it’s not really a mystery why influencers are invited. The real mystery to me is how did SNL’s Chloe Fineman get on the list??

Was it her Timothee Chalamet impression? 

Here’s a look back at my favourite looks of these year’s attendees.  There are a ton to choose from but I’m going by who actually followed the theme. 

For some reason I felt more people adhered to the 2018 theme  Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. There were so many incredible looks that year. 

Rihanna who was the co-chair that year led by example with the stunning Margiela design.

Blake Lively looking regal in Versace.

Cardi B. during the same year in Moschino.

Zendaya won hands down for her Joan of Arc look by Versace.

Same year Jennifer Lopez wore this punk-y Balmain design.

2015′s theme was “China: Through The Looking Glass” and Sarah Jessica Parker wore an H&M dress with a elaborate Philip Treacy headdress. 

2016′s theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology and I think it was a hard theme for people to grasp the concept of.

The person who nailed it was Claire Danes with her light up Zac Posen gown

But Beyonce looked great in her nude latex Givenchy design.

2019′s theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion” and the obvious winner was that year’s co-chair Lady Gaga who had four costume changes.

Followed by Kim Kardashian in a Thierry Mugler design that simulated a dripping wet look.

hey legend i thought it was just a rumour another tumblr user made up that andrew garfield was fired for being bi??

Hello! the Sony email leaks back in 2016 revealed that Marc Webb/Garfield Spiderman trilogy was nipped in the bud because they were going to give Peter a boyfriend. The leaks revealed that they sold Spiderman back to Disney under strict contract conditions that "spiderman and Peter Parker must be heterosexual." Andrew Garfield's sexuality is still just a rumour (more importantly it's his personal business), but the reason the Amazing Spiderman Trilogy was canned is far from a rumour.

EDIT: I actually wrote about what happened to Andrew as part of an essay on Marvel’s institutional homophibia. You can read it on my blog here

*Bandcamp here

Because it’s Pride Month:

Here’s some queer history from around the world, not just the United States.

Here are some LGBTQIA+ GoFundMe campaigns: Rent Fund For Black LGBT Family, Help Roze get somewhere safe (Non-Binary LGBTQ), Survival and Gender Affirming Needs for Black Enby, College Fund for a Black Trans Woman, Tito’s top surgery and recovery fund, Omi’s Transition Fund: Health, Housing, & Security, Help Emmett Pay for Emergency Surgery

If you’d like to get involved with stopping the atrocities against Palestine, here’s where you can start (text in bold for readability):

This Carrd is full of information, petitions, and places to donate.

Here are some organizations to which you can donate. This post now includes a list of corporations to boycott.

Here is some information about the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund and a list of other organizations.

Decolonize Palestine has an FAQ about Palestine here.

This is a list of actions you can take (somewhat UK-specific). This is a reading list of texts with more background information.

UK petitions: This is a petition for the UK government to formally recognize the State of Palestine. This is a petition to introduce sanctions against Israel. This is a petition to condemn Israel for their treatment of Palestine and Palestinians.

Here’s the Wikipedia overview of the current iteration of the crisis.

If you’re curious about the United States’s involvement: this is a report about U.S. foreign aid to Israel. This is the Wikipedia page for Palestine-United States relations and this is the Wikipedia page for Israel-United States relations.

Here are some perspectives from on the ground in Gaza. This is also explains why spreading the Palestinian point of view. is so important.

This is one Jewish person’s explanation of the conflation of Jewish identity with the modern Israeli state. They mention the Nakba, which is important – per Wikipedia, “the Nakba, […] also known as the Palestinian Catastrophe, was the destruction of Palestinian society and homeland in 1948, and the permanent displacement of a majority of the Palestinian people.”

This Vox video gives a brief overview of the conflict from its inception until the present day, although it’s from 2016, so it’s not entirely up to date. This CrashCourse video does the same, and I think it’s actually a little better than the Vox video because within the first minute they shut down everyone who claims that this is a religious conflict. That video is also not entirely up to date, as it is from 2015.

This post has some resources with information about the history of Palestine, Israel’s occupation of Palestine, and updates about the current situation.

Vox explains the history of the Israeli settlements in Palestine in this video.

Vice News has a series of videos entitled “The Israeli-Palestine Conflict”. Here are several that I particularly recommend:

*“Life Inside Gaza After Nearly 2 Weeks of Bombings”: This video from June 4, 2021 shows the aftermath of eleven days of bombing in Gaza.

*“Israel Is Vaccinating ‘Everyone’ – Besides 5 Million Palestinians”: This video from January 28, 2021 is about Israel’s vaccination program. As of the publishing of this video, Israeli settlers in Palestine were getting the vaccine, but it was nearly impossible for Palestinians to get it.

*“Why Evangelical Christians Love Israel”: This video from May 15, 2018 (which I believe was filmed some time prior to that date) explains why evangelical Christians are often Zionists. This is highly informative and I really recommend that you watch this in order to get some insight into why Israel is such a big talking point for the religious right.

This Vox video from October 6, 2016, discusses one way that Palestinians are being pushed out of East Jerusalem: gentrification. (I recommend that you watch the video about why Evangelical Christians love Israel in conjunction with this video in order to understand where the international money is coming from.)

Do you like podcasts? Here are some podcast episodes about Palestine.

Here are some miscellaneous resources for helping Palestine.

Black lives matter and here are some ways you can get involved in the  fight against racism, specifically anti-black racism (text in bold for readability):  

This Linktree and this Carrd are full of ways to confront and fight against anti-black racism: places to donate, advice for protesting, educational resources.

This post is specifically about Daunte Wright and how to help his family. This is Daunte Wright’s memorial fund.

The  Minnesota Freedom Fund is doing good work, and since so many people have been recognizing that work and donating to them, they ask that you  instead donate to Families Supporting Families Against Police Violence, the Racial Justice Network, Communities United Against Police Brutality, the Minneapolis NAACP, the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Minneapolis, and the Black Immigrant Collective. You can also donate to the Bail Project, which operates in multiple states.

Other organizations to which you can donate are the Black Trans Advocacy Coalition, the NAACP, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the Okra Project, the Solutions Not Punishment Collaborative, For The Gworls, G.L.I.T.S., the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, the Black Trans Travel Fund, the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, and the Black Trans Femmes in the Arts Collective.

Yugoslav Lesbian Feminists in the 80s

Selection from "Foreword: Searching for Our Lesbian Nests in Yugoslavia and After," by Lepa Mlađenović, in Intersectionality and LGBT Activist Politics: Multiple Others in Croatia and Serbia, ed. Bojan Bilić and Sanja Kajinić, 2016

In the early 1980s the feminist movement started to grow in Yugoslavia, and the first wave of young feminist lesbians began to recognise each other, organise, and work together in three capitals—Ljubljana, Zagreb, and Belgrade. At moments it felt like the new world was opening in our search to understand what our lesbian difference was. I’m not a girl/I’m a hatchet … I’m not a fool/I’m a survivor/ … Look at me as if you had never seen a woman before ([Judy] Grahn, 1971).

At the same time the socialist system in Yugoslavia was making a great leap forward in terms of women’s emancipation: the majority of women were literate in those years, many were workers in the self-management system, abortion was (almost) free and safely done in state hospitals, and state-funded kindergartens, schooling, and medical care also added to the general improvement of the status of women. Every bigger city had a people’s theatre and a people’s cultural centre. Trade unions took care that workers could go on vacation, cleaning women too (usually on the Adriatic sea). However, women of our mothers’ generation hardly had a permission for sexual pleasure, and the social concept of women erotically loving women or men loving men did not exist. Just as the feminist lesbian director Maria Takács (2009) shows in her documentary Secret Years, which brings testimonials of women loving women in state socialist Hungary, social silence was masking the permanent manufacturing of hatred against lesbians and gay men alike. [...]

Not being much aware that lesbian desire was demonised, in 1986 I fell in love with a woman and knew “this is it!”. Like many of us in those years, I thought I was the only lesbian in the town. At that time, we, women activists in Belgrade, used to meet in the feminist group Women and Society (Žena i društvo), a sister-group of the one in Zagreb with the same name. Very soon I found out that, in fact, in my group there were other comrades cherishing the same hidden love. But these were years of secrecy, in which we lesbians had to become deliberate liars. “A pen must write underground underwater so be it”, simply said Adrienne Rich (1973).

In the 1980s, while in my thirties, I was politically active in the International Network of Alternatives to Psychiatry. I hitchhiked from one meeting to another in different cities of (Western) Europe where the women’s movement was flourishing. There I found out about a new phenomenon in history: women’s bookstores! Women-made shops for books and coffee were a feminist must in Amsterdam, Athens, Rome, Berlin… The spaces were charming and exactly how I loved them to be: with lazy cats strolling around, tampons hanging in the bathroom, and lesbians on the front desks. These bookstores were shop windows of the big news for us from the East: they made us realise that the women’s movement had already invented lesbians proud to be who they are! With a fire in my body, it was there that I discovered the books by feminist lesbians—they gave me my first chosen baby-milk. So for example, I had to get Les Guérillères by Monique Wittig in its French original, even though I could understand maybe every fifth word, or the book Passionate Politics by Charlotte Bunch because I loved the title! These books had new political visions of lesbian desire—they were road signs, my very first lesbian nest. I choose to cite in this text some of the authors that changed me: you take me love/a sea skeleton/fill me with you/& i become/pregnant with love ([Pat] Parker, 1974).

In December 1987, the feminists from the feminist group Lilith in Slovenia decided to invite feminists from Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia to the first Yugoslav feminist meeting. About forty activists gathered for this exciting conference. We had two issues named for the first time: violence against women and lesbian love. These two themes were completely new on the socialist “women’s question” agenda. This was also a first encounter among a few out lesbians: Suzana Tratnik, active in organising lesbians in Ljubljana, Sladana Marković and me from Belgrade, joined by a few more lesbians-to-be. It is there that I first saw a young woman in charge of technical equipment. In fact, it was the first time for all of us to see a charming butch managing microphones and electricity with professional competence. We felt totally new in the same old world. There, among a few passionate feminist lesbians of Yugoslavia, I found my new lesbian nest. [...]

The conference was successful and historic in many ways. The issues were identified. The last night we decided to work on conference conclusions. Sitting in a small room on desks and chairs, full of excitement, in sparkling devotion, we were naming themes we wanted to work on: violence against women, women in employment, in politics, in health care … and an extraordinary pronouncing of our wish “to make a lesbian group in every city of the country” (Dobnikar & Pamuković, 2009, p. 16). Yugoslavia had never before seen such a passionate work of feminists. That evening we promised to each other what political responsibilities we would take up. Later we realised that many of us have carried out the promises we made that night. For example, in that year, the first lesbian group was formed in Slovenia, Lilith Lesbians (Lezbični Lilit). After that, in 1989, feminist lesbians in Zagreb formed Lila Initiative (Lila inicijativa). Lesbians in Belgrade started ad hoc lesbian discussions inside the feminist group Women and Society (Žena i društvo). Lesbian issues were discussed in the next three annual Yugoslav feminist encounters. [...]

Year 1990 was crucial and different. When the Berlin Wall fell down, (November 1989) new enthusiasm emerged in all of Eastern Europe, with many political initiatives starting also in Yugoslavia. Alternative culture and local rock groups were everywhere. Some feminists were already working on telephone helplines for the battered women, others organised women’s summer camps (Slovenia), many were discussing women in politics, and groups known as Women’s Lobby (Ženski lobi) were formed in Zagreb and Belgrade. Activists were busy writing, translating, publishing in student papers and journals, and going out into the streets with petitions and feminist demands. In that year, the lesbians and gay men in Belgrade began to organise around a group called Arkadija. In Ljubljana, the 8th Gay and Lesbian Film Festival was already taking place. Feminism was spreading in Yugoslavia, we were travelling to meet each other, to discuss and insist on sisterhood.

But in 1991, the war broke out. Nationalism swept our streets, entered families and institutions like a typhoon, and conflicts over “What’s your nationality?” and “Which side of the war are you on?” divided people, including the activists of women’s groups. We had to stop Yugoslav feminist encounters. Soon there were no trains or buses between Zagreb and Belgrade or Sarajevo; the borders closed down, telephone lines too. The news announced the first men were killed on the front. And my life changed completely.
