The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books.

It's a challenging issue, and the people that already have been tested and know their status find it very, very hard to disclose their status, to live with that virus, and to even seek out the kind of information they need.
