My boss just sent me this blurb... Might be interesting and it's free.
The Hollywood Librarian - now showing in London.
A one-night only opportunity to see the film every Librarian has
been talking about recently.
CILIP in London, London South Bank University and SLA Europe are
pleased to present a London showing of The Hollywood Librarian. The
film, subtitled a look at librarians through film, is the first
full-length documentary film to focus on the work and lives of
librarians and to compare their portrayal in films such as Sophie's
Choice, Philadelphia, It's a Wonderful Life, Lorenzo's Oil, Desk Set
and The Shawshank Redemption with the realities of the modern
information profession.
The film will be shown at London South Bank University on Thursday
22 May in the Keyworth Centre at 6.45pm. Refreshments will be served
from 6.15pm. Directions to the building are on the campus map:

Review from the films website,
"Ann Seidl's 'The Hollywood Librarian' is an engaging, often humorous look at the disparity between the simplistic depictions of bun-wearing, finger-shushing, spinster librarians served up in Hollywood feature films and the far more complex reality of today's savvy information navigators—of both genders, with or without tattoos and/or piercings."
