Some thoughts:
While I am 100% for promoting Librarian as a profession, I am a bit cautious on
recommeding that young girls become introduced to the profession via Barbie. I
am having nightmares about Barbie the Librarian having a longer hemline,
glasses and a bun. I also don't want to see Barbie go into a profession which
is considered safe for women to go into. Librarianship appears to be dominated
by women. Maybe she needs to become Barbie the cop or architect, as that would
be much more progressive.
