""Sit down, my dear,"" says the fortuneteller. ""Let's see what the future holds."" She draws her robe around the chair, addresses her crystal ball.

More Description""Sit down, my dear,"" says the fortuneteller. ""Let's see what the future holds."" She draws her robe around the chair, addresses her crystal ball. ""You're a librarian?"" she says, rubbing the ball. ""Your future? You will enjoy--oops, its changing.... You will go on a long--oops, it's changing again!""Sound familiar? It's just one of the many wry observations from cartoonist Benita Epstein. One could say that she sees the libraryland as a place full of offbeat characters, from interlibrary loan sharks to patrons who need references--for their resumes, of course. Or as a technological jungle where signs read ""Beware of the DOS."" Or as a land of words, where oxymorons are served at cocktail parties. In short, she sees a land with which we are all familiar, a place called libraryland, where we can always enjoy a good chuckle and sometimes even a belly laugh. These cartoons are sure to cause both.
