Another LJ user chimes in with some thoughts about being judged by by his librarian for what he checks out of his library, since it's only a subset of what he actually reads.... Some librarians chimed in to let him know that not only are we not snobby about what the patron's are reading [we're just happy they are reading, duh] but we adore the trashy mystery and the cheesy tabloid magazines ourselves once in a while.
