That's a great movie! Parker Posey's first flick, I think! My pal Erin
has a postcard from the promo on her wall. she still works @ the
library!

I like the falafel guy.

And oddly, I truly empathized with that moment where she finally "gets"
the dewey decimal system. :-)

Other great sequences for Librarians are the opening to Ghostbusters and
the crane pullback in All The President's Men. Oh, and in the Paper
Chase sequence where they break into the archives to see Kingsfield's
notes.
