The "Hollywood Librarian" on Tour in NRW

December 4, 2008. Over 300 librarians enjoyed Ann Seidl’s film “The Hollywood Librarian” at recent screenings throughout North Rhine-Westphalia. The film provides an engaging and humorous look at librarians through film and is the first full-length documentary film that focuses on the work and lives of librarians. The film is currently on tour throughout Germany and was shown at the annual library convention of the NRW chapter of the German Librarians’ Association in Krefeld on Nov. 24 and at a major public library event in Bielefeld on Dec. 4. It was also used in library science classrooms at Cologne University where future information professionals watched this informative portrait of American librarians as they have been portrayed in the movies.
